Currie Field

The specific reason is not publicly documented, which is common for small, private airfields. Closure was most likely due to a private owner's decision. Such decisions are typically driven by factors like the owner's retirement from flying, the sale of the property, increasing liability and insurance costs, or the high expense of maintaining a runway for infrequent use.

The site is currently private property and has been returned to agricultural use. Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows a large field where the runway was once located. The faint outline of the former north-south runway is still visible from the air, but it is completely overgrown with grass and crops and is no longer suitable for any aviation activity. The associated farm buildings remain on the property, but there are no signs of active aviation infrastructure like hangars or windsocks.

Currie Field was a registered private aerodrome, not a public airport. Its significance was primarily local, serving as a base for the personal recreational flying activities of its owner and potentially for invited members of the general aviation community. It featured a single turf runway, designated 18/36, with a length of approximately 2,400 feet. The aerodrome supported light, single-engine aircraft and represented a typical Canadian 'farm strip' that contributes to the grassroots aviation culture. It did not handle commercial, cargo, or military operations.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Currie Field. Given that the land has been reintegrated into agricultural use for over 15 years and the region is already served by the nearby Owen Sound Billy Bishop Regional Airport (CYOS) and Wiarton-Keppel Airport (CYVV), the economic and practical case for reactivating this small, private strip is virtually non-existent.
