Approximately 2007. The airport, formerly identified by the Transport Canada Location Identifier 'CPR2', was officially delisted from the Canada Flight Supplement (CFS) around this time, indicating its formal closure.
The airport was a privately owned and operated aerodrome. While the specific reason for its closure is not publicly documented, it is common for such small airfields to close due to a private owner's decision. This can be influenced by factors such as rising operational costs, liability concerns, the owner's retirement, or the sale of the land for more profitable use, such as agriculture.
The airport site has been fully converted back to agricultural land. Current satellite imagery of the coordinates (43.56868, -81.40298) clearly shows that the area is now used for farming. The faint outlines of the two former intersecting runways are still visible in the fields. A building that was likely the main hangar appears to remain on the property, probably repurposed for farm storage. The land is privately owned and not accessible to the public.
Seaforth Airport (CPR2) served as a local general aviation facility for the town of Seaforth and the surrounding region of Huron County. It featured two turf runways: Runway 02/20, which was approximately 2,550 feet long, and Runway 13/31, which was approximately 2,450 feet long. Its primary function was to support recreational flying for private pilots with light aircraft. It provided a valuable asset to the local aviation community but had no significant military or commercial air service history.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Seaforth Airport. The land has been integrated into a private farm, and the infrastructure has been removed or repurposed. Re-establishing an aerodrome on the site would require significant investment and the willingness of the current landowner, making it highly improbable.
