Burnaby Field

The airport was a private aerodrome. While the specific reason for its closure is not officially documented, it is typical for such small, private strips to close after the owner sells the property, ceases flying activities due to age or health, or passes away. The closure was a private decision and not due to military conversion, major accidents, or broad economic factors.

The site is currently private land used for residential and agricultural purposes. Satellite imagery of the coordinates clearly shows the faint but distinct outline of the former grass runway, which is now maintained as a large, mowed lawn or field adjacent to a private residence. The building that likely served as a hangar appears to be used as a large garage or workshop. The site is not accessible to the public and has no remaining aviation infrastructure.

Burnaby Field was a private general aviation aerodrome. It consisted of a single turf runway (listed as Runway 15/33) with a length of approximately 2,640 feet. Its operations were limited to private, recreational flying for the owner's personal aircraft and likely those of invited guests. It served as a local hub for a small number of aviation enthusiasts in the Wainfleet and greater Niagara Region but had no commercial, industrial, or military significance.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Burnaby Field. Given that the land is privately owned and has been fully converted to residential and agricultural use for over two decades, the likelihood of it ever returning to service as a certified aerodrome is extremely low.
