Corman Air Park
Corman Air Park is a small privately owned and operated aerodrome near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. It is open to the general public and is suitable for light aircraft of up to about 6 seats (2600 ft. runway).
Pilots are encouraged to fly here and the general public to fly in, drive in, cycle in, walk in...... are all encouraged to come out and find out what REAL aviation is all about.
Every year the Air Park is host to It's annual Fly N' Fair. It is really a "50 year past" event and is very reminiscent of what a real country fair was back then. It's a lot of very relaxing fun for everyone that attends.
It runs every year from June 30 to July 1 with a free and very spectacular fireworks display at dusk on June 30.
There is no admission charge but the Canadian Air Cadets are in charge of parking and they charge $5/car.
See the website at Google cormanairpark for more information.

airplane rides for children
Hi,
I attended an event with a non profit last year that offered an opportunity for children to have a short ride in a plane (for children who may not otherwise have this experience). Is that event happening again this year? If so, I'm wondering if I could talk to someone about this and how I can get my organization involved.
Thanks!

re: Stoney Creek Airport
I would like to park my airplane at this airport since I just moved to the area. Is there anybody I could talk to about bringing it there and parking outside with tiedowns? I can be contacted at j3dixon@hotmail.com. I was already speaking to Mr. Yaworski, but he is on holidays right now and I would like to bring it up this weekend if possible.
Thanks

Confirmed no go
Been there again two days ago - it's listed as registered, but looks like a private cropdusters strip. Farm machinery in and around the hangar, instead of airplanes, and a red truck parked on the first third of eastbound runway. Didn't look welcoming, though it's a long strip - and surface was quite beaten. Looks like the owners just did not update their official airport status to "restricted".
re: Okotoks
Reply to @camroe: You probably meant the Okotoks Air Park, just a couple of miles southeast, right? Skywings is there... As for this grass strip, it's restricted, and in a very decent conditions - just overflew it two days ago, looked very nice and landable. Loved the runway numbers cut in the grass, cool touch! :-)

I agree
This airpark is not properly maintained. I will not return. SW winds brutal. I understand from a local that it is always like that. St. Catharines is much more professional and close to Niagara on the Lake! Great food and great wine, plenty of ground transportation and lodgings. Just sayin....
Back up in 2012
It seems the airport is back up and running as of 2012. facebook.com/pages/Grimshaw-Airport/120648661314002
Landing Fee's
First of all thanks @david for bring the facility fee for Glanford to my attention i did not know about that and would have been pretty upset if i were to show up their and get a bill like that for sure! Second I'm noticing that YHM is waiving it's landing fee's on certain occasions to attract GA traffic. does anyone know if the facility fee for certain places will be waived? or is their a place on the field to park were you wont get charged these " hidden fee's"
thanks in advance

Grimsby Airpark
I wouldn't land here again. The runway is in poor shape. There are large trees at the north end which present a disconcerting challenge.
There are much nicer airparks in the area.

Sure movine a lot of dirt
So can you share with us what your plans for all that dirt that is being dumped non stop on your property? Sure making life miserable for your neighbours. We love the planes using our stand of pines to land, but the dust, dirt and all the trucks is a little unbearable.
So please share your plans!

re: Runway Conditions?
Does anyone know a place where I can land my Maule (800' of dirt or small rocks is fine) near Prince of Wales hotel at Waterton? I am staying there for a few days in August and cannot figure out the best way to get there by plane.

Historic Exhibits
Once upon a time there were several exhibit panels detailing historic moments in aeronautical history in Kingston. They were very interesting. For some reason they were removed and I gather are now in storage. Why? They should be remounted and, frankly, in a more public area than just the security-closed-off departure lounge.
On a related matter - yes, Porter should fly into Kingston. I would make far greater use of our local airport if I could get into downtown Toronto directly. Flying into Pearson and then paying $50+ to get downtown (one way) is why I now take VIA, despite having to put up with commuting times that are much longer.
Flight School
Trying to set up a Flight School at Killam/Sedgewick for the 2012 Season. Great for new pilots or upgrades to existing ones. It will hopfully fire up in May with the ground school. Anyone in the area that is interested can message me for more information.
First Airport
Learned to fly out of the Island while working in Toronto. Used to live on a sailboat in the Center Island Marina and fly out of the Island airport. It was good livin'!
Okotoks
Flew a 152 out of this airport. SkyWings Aviation is FBO and Flight school here. Nice folk. Narrow sloping runway - heads up!
Wow
Overflew this airport last summer, was planning a possible touch and go depending how the field looked, but when we approached... wow... runway 27 certainly slopes DOWN.
re: Good place to visit
Reply to @dazuppa: Correction - SE ramp mentioned above, sorry! :-)
Good place to visit
Brantford is very easy to find - an obvious triangular shape next to the only big town in the area. Wide, long, well-maintained runways and not so well maintained taxiways, huge ramps. A couple of semi-dismantled C-117 with square tails and oversized elevators at the end of the SW ramp (aviation buffs, check them out - those birds are rare now!) Reasonably busy, but with well-organized traffic and helpful unicom. A nice place to visit.
Crosswind runway and misc updates
A crosswind runway was recently completed, making Burlington really comfortable and easy to operate from. Maneuvering surfaces are in a very good shape, overall airport infrastructure looks better and better with every visit.
FBO status remains the same - sort of struggling through and not quite organized, missing a leading hand. Seen a King Air blasting the parked Cessnas (yes, he was doing a run-up next to the pumps, pointing its tail to the ramp within 60 ft). Advised the FBO folks, they refused to comment or take any action to prevent the damage of their own airplanes.
For the renters - add $10 to the prices from the Spectrum Airways website, this is called a "temporary fuel surcharge" or something like that, but looks like its a permanent thing in disguise.
