Cardinal Couriers Heliport

The closure was due to a business decision by the owner, Cardinal Couriers. It is presumed that maintaining and operating a private helicopter and certified heliport was no longer considered cost-effective or necessary for their logistics and shipping operations. The company itself remains in full operation at the location, suggesting a change in operational strategy rather than financial distress or site redevelopment.

The site is still an active and major distribution hub for Cardinal Couriers, which is now part of the Canada Cartage System. The physical helipad, which was located on the ground adjacent to the main warehouse, has been decommissioned. Satellite imagery confirms that the helipad markings (the 'H' symbol) have been removed, and the area is now used as a standard truck and trailer parking lot, fully integrated into the facility's ground logistics operations. The aerodrome is permanently closed.

CPL8 was a private heliport used exclusively by Cardinal Couriers, a prominent Canadian logistics and time-sensitive shipping company. Its primary function was to support the company's core business by enabling rapid, point-to-point transport of urgent items, such as critical documents, medical supplies, or high-value small parcels, thereby bypassing the significant ground traffic of the Greater Toronto Area. The heliport was an integral part of their expedited delivery service, giving them a competitive advantage for extremely time-sensitive shipments. It was not open to the public.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the heliport. The decision to close was internal to the company, and its physical removal indicates a permanent cessation of aviation activities. Any reopening would require a significant capital investment and a renewed business case for private helicopter operations, for which there is no public indication. Therefore, the prospect of reopening is considered extremely unlikely.
