The exact closure date is unknown as this was a private aerodrome. Analysis of historical satellite imagery suggests it fell into disuse and ceased to be maintained sometime in the mid-to-late 2010s. Imagery from the early 2000s shows a clearly defined and maintained grass runway, while images from around 2018 onwards show the runway becoming progressively more overgrown and indistinct.
The specific reason for closure is not publicly documented. As a private airstrip, the closure was almost certainly due to a decision by the property owner. Common reasons for such closures include the sale of the property, the owner's retirement from flying, loss of medical certification, or the prohibitive cost and labor involved in maintaining a private runway.
The site is currently a private residential property. The faint outline of the former north-south grass runway is still visible on satellite imagery, but it is unmaintained, overgrown, and no longer suitable for aviation use. The land appears to be used as a field or lawn associated with the adjacent private residence.
The aerodrome had no major historical significance in a national or regional context. It was a private, unregistered grass airstrip likely used for personal, recreational general aviation. Operations would have been limited to small, single-engine aircraft capable of using a short turf runway, such as a Piper Cub, Cessna 172, or similar light aircraft. The identifier 'CA-1215' is not an official ICAO or Transport Canada code but rather an informal identifier assigned by third-party aviation databases (like OurAirports.com) for cataloging purposes. Its primary function was to serve the aviation interests of the landowner.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the aerodrome. As it is on private land, any potential for reopening would be entirely at the discretion and expense of the current landowner. Given its status as a small, private strip that has been closed for several years, a return to aviation service is highly unlikely.
