The old VNCs on the wall at Rockcliffe show St. André-Avellin airport at this spot, further north of the town than the present field.

Seen on an old VNC (unknown date, mounted on wall at Rockcliffe Flying Club). Recent satellite image shows a mowed grass runway and parked aircraft.

Straight skis
Winter flying
Hi I’m wondering the condition of the runways during winter and if you can land and take off with straight floats ? And if so is there a contact to line up a place to tie down or even better hangar space for rent perhaps . Thanks
BCATP relief field
From @FlyingTom in a problem report:
This triangular field was RCAF Detachment Granum (for the nearby town) and was the #1 relief field for No. 7 Service Flying Training School at Fort Macleod.
Closed

Well hello fellow Ham Radio operator!!
I am just learning to fly and checking out this website to learn all the airports and airfields in the south of Alberta.
Last time I was in to Drumheller was to meet aviation friends, but we drove in. Loved the airport and the staff hanging around , had a lovely lunch...rats can't remember the place in town, then went through The Royal Tyrell Museum....very interesting indeed!! Keep the Shiny Side Up!!! Caroline

What a great old airport!!! She was built in the 1940's as a British Commonwealth Air Training Plan airport for the boys to learn how to fly those big bombers!! It is sad to see most of those old gals in Alberta have disappeared........they must have been something to see all across Canada!!! Too bad that most of them have not been maintained!! CEN4 - High River has been plowed under, but Google earth still shows her triangle!!! Want to do some history search?? Go slowly over each Province and look for that tell tale triangle!!! Safe flying out there!!!! Caroline
AGREE with others - BETTER places to go.....
Small facility, poor airstrip, local area boring, no ground transportation. NOTL (CYSN) has much more to offer by a wide margin.
Nice facility
Went to the annual BBQ lunch Aug. 27, 2021. Great terminal and runway. Very nice local folks. Great to have the self serve fuel as well.

Visited May 31, 2021. Courtesy car available, but we didn’t use it. Terminal entry door for pilots is on parking lot side of building.

Terminal interior is being renovated. Looks like a few year job. Runway is very good.
Needs TLC
The terminal building really needs some cleaning and TLC. Runway is in good shape.
Great Facility
Visited April 2021. Friendly "manager", helped with self serve fuel. Courtesy vehicle available. Great dinosaur museum in town.
My Experience
Very Nice Airport, Just The Taxis And Luggage Are Areas They NEED To Improve On
Warning: high landing fee, GA not welcome
City council has forced the airport to institute a $35 landing fee (+HST, presumably). There are no exceptions, not even for resident pilots or pilots purchasing fuel. The fee is more than double that of CYTZ, which is downtown in Canada's biggest city.
I suggest taking your travel business to nearby Wiarton CYVV, instead -- it still welcomes GA.

First solo flight 1983
When I learned to fly in Canada 1983
I completed my first solo 10. of July 1983 on Midland (Huronia) Airport with an Cessna 150 C-GUKF and finally got the PPL Licence on July 29th 1983.
I never forget this awesome time flying in Ontario. Wonderful!

Looking for Belleville Flying Club jacket
My dad still has his Belleville Flying Club jacket from the 90's but it is falling apart. Anyone have one in their collection they would be willing to part with?
Improved Surfaces/Hangars
The runway is now paved! (40' wide), and they are adding a second heated hangar which should be completed in Nov 2020.
When making your radio calls, be sure to use "Steinbach South" Traffic. As "Steinbach" (the other airfield three miles north of this one) shares the same frequency.
Grass runway
There seems to be a parallel grass runway right beside 03/21. It's not listed in the CFS, but the diagram shows its length as 1,800 ft.
Turf Conditions Were Great
Firm grass, no issues in a cherokee six. Quite the approach into the westerly direction. Amazing views
Watch out for the construction site on the approach end of 1
Lots of digging and mounds of dirt
Still Well Maintained
Turf was solid with a few embedded rocks here and there.. There is J-A1 fuel on site, probably for the helicopters. No probs in a Cherokee Six

The connection between runway 17/35 and Runway 12/30 located at the end of runway 35 has been demolished
