Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

Circa August 2006. A Nav Canada NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) numbered 061031 was issued on August 1, 2006, officially stating the aerodrome was permanently closed.

Reason for Closure

The airport was a privately owned aerodrome named Hygreen Field, associated with the adjacent Hygreen Farms. The closure was most likely for private reasons, such as a change in the owner's needs, the sale of the property, or the high cost of maintenance and insurance relative to its use. This type of closure is common for small, private airstrips and there is no indication it was due to a specific accident, regulatory action, or military conversion.

Current Status

The site has been fully returned to agricultural use. Current satellite imagery of the coordinates shows that the land where the runway was located is now an active farm field. While the faint, linear outline of the former north-south runway is still discernible from the air, it is no longer maintained and is indistinguishable from the surrounding farmland at ground level. The associated farm buildings remain to the west of the former runway area.

Historical Significance

Hygreen Field was a registered private aerodrome serving primarily the owners of Hygreen Farms and potentially other local pilots with permission. It was not a public airport. Its operations were typical of a small farm strip, handling light, general aviation aircraft for recreational and personal transportation purposes. According to the last available Canadian Flight Supplement (CFS) entries, it featured a single turf (grass) runway, designated 17/35, with a length of 2,600 feet (792 meters). Its significance was purely local, supporting private aviation in a rural area.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans, discussions, or prospects for reopening Hygreen Field. As the land is privately owned and has been successfully reintegrated into agricultural production for over a decade, the likelihood of it ever being converted back to an aerodrome is extremely low.
