My search for recent traveler reviews and experiences at St Andrews West Aerodrome (CA-1207) in Cornwall, CA, did not yield specific information regarding traveler sentiment, terminal facilities, security wait times, or transportation connections for an aerodrome at this location.
While "Saint Andrews West" is identified as a location in Ontario, Canada, with available vacation rentals and guest houses, the search results did not produce any direct traveler reviews or experiences specifically related to an aerodrome or airport facilities at CA-1207 or in the vicinity of Cornwall that align with the requested criteria. It appears that public reviews for a commercial passenger airport experience are not readily available for this aerodrome.
Therefore, I am unable to provide a summary of traveler sentiment, terminal facilities, security, or transportation as no relevant reviews were found.

Circa 2012-2013. The aerodrome was permanently closed and de-registered to allow for the construction of a solar energy project. Satellite imagery shows the runway was still intact in 2011, but construction of the solar farm was underway by 2014.
Land redevelopment for renewable energy. The privately-owned land was sold and repurposed for the construction of a large-scale solar farm. The closure was driven by the economic opportunity of selling the land for a more profitable industrial use than a small, private airfield.
The site has been completely transformed and is now the location of the 'St. Andrews West Solar Energy Centre', a 10 MW photovoltaic power station developed by EDF Renewables. All traces of the runway, hangars, and other aviation infrastructure have been removed and replaced by thousands of solar panels and related electrical equipment.
St. Andrews West Aerodrome was a privately owned, registered general aviation airfield that was listed in the Canada Flight Supplement for many years. It featured a single turf runway (09/27) approximately 2,600 feet long. The aerodrome was a local hub for recreational pilots and private aircraft in the Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry (SD&G) area, supporting a small but active flying community. It primarily handled light single-engine aircraft and served as a classic example of a grassroots Canadian airfield, but it had no scheduled commercial or military operations.
None. The land has been fully and permanently redeveloped into a major energy generation facility operating under a long-term contract. There are no plans or possibilities for the site to ever be reverted to use as an aerodrome.
