Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

Approximately mid-2019

Reason for Closure

Urban redevelopment. The heliport was co-located with the Sûreté du Québec (Quebec Provincial Police) station for the MRC des Collines-de-l'Outaouais. The old station and its adjacent helipad were demolished starting in the spring of 2019 to facilitate the construction of a new, larger, and more modern police facility on the exact same site. The new facility, which opened in late 2020, was designed and built without a replacement helipad.

Current Status

The site of the former heliport has been completely redeveloped. It is now occupied by the new Sûreté du Québec police station for the MRC des Collines-de-l'Outaouais and its associated parking lot and infrastructure. The physical helipad, markings, and any related aviation infrastructure no longer exist.

Historical Significance

The Hull/Quebec Police Heliport was a private, single-pad heliport that served as a crucial tactical and logistical base for the Sûreté du Québec's air service in the Outaouais region. Its operations were exclusively for police purposes and included:
- **Aerial Surveillance:** Patrolling urban and rural areas within the Hull sector of Gatineau and the surrounding MRC des Collines-de-l'Outaouais.
- **Emergency Response:** Rapid deployment of personnel and equipment for critical incidents.
- **Search and Rescue (SAR):** A staging point for SAR missions in the vast and often rugged terrain of the region.
- **Tactical Support:** Providing air support for ground units during pursuits, large-scale security operations, or investigations.
Its primary significance was providing the provincial police with a dedicated and immediate-launch air asset capability within Quebec's portion of the National Capital Region.

Reopening Prospects

None. The prospect of reopening is non-existent as the land has been permanently repurposed for the new police station building. The decision to not include a heliport in the new facility's design indicates a strategic shift. Sûreté du Québec helicopter operations in the region now likely utilize other nearby aviation facilities, such as the Gatineau-Ottawa Executive Airport (CYND), when required for missions in the area.
