History

The airport was built in the early 1940s by the Royal Canadian Air Force as part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan and served as the primary relief landing field for No. 13 Elementary Flying Training School in nearby Saint-Eugène, Ontario. The aerodrome was declared surplus by the RCAF on 16 December 1944 and the property was turned over to the Department of Transport on 17 February 1945.[2]
