Canton Aerodrome

The aerodrome was a private facility, and its closure appears to be due to the cessation of private operations. There is no evidence of a specific event like an accident, regulatory action, or military conversion. The most probable reason is that the owner retired from flying, sold the property, or decided the cost and effort of maintaining the airstrip were no longer justified. This is a common fate for small, private airfields.

The site has been fully reclaimed for agricultural use. Recent satellite imagery shows that while the faint outline of the former grass runway is still visible, it is overgrown and integrated into the surrounding farmland. Tracks from farm equipment are visible crossing the old runway path. The associated buildings, likely former hangars or sheds, appear to be in use as standard farm structures. The land remains privately owned.

Canton Aerodrome was a private, unregistered airstrip. The identifier 'CA-1155' is not an official ICAO or Transport Canada code but was likely assigned by flight simulator communities or unofficial aviation databases. Its significance was purely local, serving as a base for the owner's personal recreational flying. Operations would have consisted of light, single-engine general aviation aircraft (such as Cessnas, Pipers, or homebuilts) capable of operating from its approximately 2,200-foot turf runway. It was never used for commercial, scheduled, or military aviation. It represented a small part of Canada's broader general aviation landscape, supported by private enthusiasts.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Canton Aerodrome. As the land has been repurposed for agriculture by its private owner, and with other general aviation airports like Port Hope Airport (CPR4) and Cobourg Aerodrome (CNU6) nearby, a revival of this private strip is considered extremely unlikely.
