Alvinston Airport

The airport was a private airfield, also known as 'Forbes Field'. The closure was not due to any major incident, accident, or military conversion. The most probable reason is related to the private ownership of the land; such airfields often cease operations when the owner retires, passes away, sells the property, or finds the upkeep to be no longer economically viable. The land was subsequently repurposed for agriculture.

The site of the former airport has been fully converted back to agricultural use. Current satellite imagery shows the land is now part of a larger cultivated farm field. The faint, linear outline of the former east-west runway is still discernible from the air, but there are no remaining airport infrastructure, such as hangars, lighting, or markings. The land is actively farmed.

Alvinston Airport was a small, private general aviation aerodrome with no major historical significance on a national level. Its importance was purely local, serving as a base for recreational flying for its owner and possibly other local pilots with permission. When active, it consisted of a single turf runway, designated 09/27, with dimensions of approximately 2,200 feet in length and 75 feet in width. It was a typical example of the numerous private grass strips that support general aviation in rural Canada.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Alvinston Airport. Given that the land has been reclaimed for agriculture and there is no apparent economic or community demand for an airfield at this location, the likelihood of it ever being restored to aviation use is virtually zero.
