Acadia Valley Airport

The airport was a private aerodrome. While no official reason was published, the closure is consistent with economic factors typical for small, private airstrips. This often includes the cessation of the associated business (likely an agricultural spraying operation), retirement of the owner, or the sale of the private land for other purposes. There is no evidence of closure due to a major accident or military conversion.

The site is now private agricultural land. The physical runway is no longer maintained, and its faint outline is being reclaimed by grass and vegetation, though it remains clearly visible from satellite view. The surrounding area is actively farmed. There are no hangars, terminals, or any other aviation-related infrastructure remaining on the property.

Acadia Valley Airport's significance was entirely local and tied to the region's agricultural industry. It operated as a private airstrip, sometimes designated as 'Acadia Valley (Ag)', indicating its primary function was agricultural aviation (crop dusting and spraying). The airport featured a single, unpaved north-south runway approximately 2,600 feet (800 meters) long. It supported light aircraft, such as Air Tractors or Cessna AgWagons, which served the vast farmlands in and around Acadia Valley, Alberta. It was never a public airport and did not handle commercial passenger or cargo traffic.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Acadia Valley Airport. As a privately owned strip that has been defunct for several years and whose land has been reintegrated into agricultural use, the likelihood of it being restored as an active aerodrome is extremely low.
