Airport

Proudly owned and operated by the Township of Georgian Bluffs. The Airport welcomes commercial and recreational pilots, visitors and business professionals to our facility which is conveniently located just 2 hours north of Toronto on the Bruce Peninsula and Niagara Escarpment. The airport provides a wealth of value to the Grey and Bruce Counties as a regional facility with a 24 hour Human Weather Observer onsite. Located on 820 acres of land, just 2 km outside of Wiarton, Ontario, Canada. We are a Canada Customs Airport of Entry and a Transport Canada Certified facility with services available 365 days per year. The airport has two runways and a joining taxiway system, and a public apron. The primary runway boasts a variety of IFR approaches. The secondary runway has a compact gravel surface. The airport provides both AVGAS and Jet A with additive, aircraft parking areas and hosts a public terminal building with a pilot's lounge, accompanied with private shower, that is available 24 hours per day. The terminal building was dedicated to Eileen Vollick, the first licensed female pilot in Canada.  To learn more about Eileen Vollick, the web site Canada's History wrote an article entitled "Unacquainted With Fear" that outlines Eileen's life and career in aviation.

On August 2, 2008, the Wiarton-Keppel International Airport officially renamed the main terminal building after Eileen.  To recognize Eileen's accomplishments the airport unveiled a wall mural in her honor inside the renamed terminal building.  In addition, members of COPA Flight 68, erected a heritage stone marker in a specially designated parkette.

All hangars located on the property are privately owned under 20 year land leases.  The opportunity to construct a new private hangar can discussed with the Airport Manager.
