Sturgeon Landing Airport

The specific reason for closure is not officially documented. However, for a small heliport in a remote location like Sturgeon Landing, closure is almost certainly due to economic reasons. It was likely built to support a specific commercial operation, such as a mining exploration project, a forestry camp, or a remote tourist lodge. The heliport would have been abandoned following the conclusion of that project or the closure of the business it served.

Satellite imagery of the coordinates (54.29175, -101.821902) confirms the site's location on the shore of the Sturgeon-Weir River system. A distinct circular clearing, characteristic of a helipad, is still visible. However, the site appears abandoned and unmaintained, with vegetation beginning to reclaim the cleared area. There are no signs of current aviation activity or any other use. The site is effectively an abandoned helipad.

The facility was a private heliport, not a public fixed-wing airport. Its identifier, CA-0372, is a non-standard code used by some data aggregators and not an official ICAO or Transport Canada identifier. Its significance was purely local and logistical. Located in a remote area of northern Saskatchewan, it served as a vital base for helicopter operations. These operations likely supported resource industries critical to the region's economy, such as mineral prospecting, geological surveys, and forestry support (transporting crews, equipment, and conducting aerial surveys). It may also have provided access for high-end fishing or hunting lodges in the area. It would have handled light to medium helicopters capable of landing in a small, prepared clearing.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the heliport. As a private facility tied to a specific commercial need, its reactivation would be entirely dependent on a new industrial or tourism-related project emerging in the immediate vicinity that would require and justify the cost of re-establishing a helicopter base. Without such a catalyst, the site will likely remain abandoned.
