Webbwood Airport

The specific reason is not officially documented. As a small, private, and likely uncertified aerodrome, its closure was almost certainly due to economic reasons. This typically includes the high cost of maintenance, insurance, and taxes relative to its utility, a lack of demand, or the owner selling the land or no longer wishing to operate an airfield.

The airport is permanently closed and abandoned. The site is now completely overgrown with mature trees and dense brush. The former runway is no longer distinguishable from the surrounding forest on current satellite imagery. There are no visible remnants of hangars, terminals, or any other airport infrastructure. The land has fully reverted to its natural, undeveloped state.

Webbwood Airport was a small general aviation aerodrome. Its identifier, CA-0403, is not an official Transport Canada location identifier, indicating it was likely a private, unregistered airstrip. It featured a single unpaved (turf or gravel) runway, estimated to be around 2,300 feet long. Operations would have been limited to light, single-engine aircraft. It likely served local recreational pilots, and potentially supported regional industries such as logging, prospecting, or providing access to remote hunting and fishing lodges.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Webbwood Airport. Re-establishing an airport on the site would require extensive and costly land clearing, grading, and construction of new facilities. Given the apparent lack of demand that led to its original closure, a future reopening is considered extremely unlikely.
