Colonsay Airport

The airport was a small, private, unregistered aerodrome. While no official reason for closure has been published, it is almost certainly due to private circumstances. Common reasons for such closures include the owner ceasing aviation activities, selling the associated land, retirement, or the cost of maintenance becoming prohibitive. There is no evidence of closure due to an accident, military conversion, or regulatory action.

The airport is abandoned and non-operational. The site, located on private agricultural land, shows the faint outline of the former runway on satellite views, but it is completely overgrown with grass and vegetation, making it unusable for any aircraft. The land has effectively reverted to farmland. There are no remaining airport buildings, hangars, or markings.

CA-0680 was a private aerodrome with no major historical significance in the context of Canadian national or commercial aviation. Its purpose was likely tied to the private interests of its owner. Operations would have been limited to small, single-engine aircraft for personal transportation, recreational flying, or potentially supporting local agricultural activities like crop dusting, which is common for private strips in Saskatchewan's prairies. It was a basic turf or gravel landing strip without significant infrastructure.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Colonsay Airport. As a privately owned strip that has been abandoned for several years, its reinstatement would require significant private investment to clear the land, restore the runway surface, and ensure it meets any safety standards for operation. Given its location and the lack of apparent demand, a reopening is highly improbable.
