McDonalds Corners Airstrip

As a private airstrip, it was not formally 'closed' in a regulatory sense. Any cessation of use would have been at the discretion of the property owner. Common reasons for such strips to become inactive include the owner no longer flying, the sale of the property, prohibitive costs of maintenance and insurance, or liability concerns. There is no evidence of closure due to military conversion, a major accident, or commercial economic failure.

Satellite imagery of the coordinates (44.952552, -76.545482) shows a clearly defined and well-maintained grass landing strip on private property, adjacent to a residence. The land is part of a rural/agricultural property. While the strip appears physically usable, its current operational status for aviation is unconfirmed. It is not a registered aerodrome, and any use would require the explicit prior permission of the landowner.

The airstrip's significance is purely local and private. It was never a public airport and did not handle commercial, scheduled, or military traffic. Its operations would have been limited to recreational flying by the owner and their associates, likely using light, single-engine aircraft such as a Piper Cub or Cessna 172. The identifier 'CA-1222' is not an official Canadian airport code and its origin is unconfirmed, likely from a non-governmental database.

There are no known plans or prospects for this airstrip to 'reopen' as a public or officially registered airport. Its use remains entirely at the discretion of the current property owner. For it to become a registered aerodrome, the owner would need to undertake a lengthy and complex certification process with Transport Canada, which is highly unlikely for a small, private field of this nature.
