Long Branch Aerodrome

It is recognized by the existence of Aviation Road in the Lakeview, Mississauga community and a historical plaque.

John Alexander Douglas McCurdy, the first person to fly an airplane in the British Empire, was hired as the airport's first manager.

In January 1917, the newly designated Royal Flying Corps Canada, opened the RFC training centre at Long Branch.

The Long Branch training centre also provided instruction on flying boats at nearby Hanlan's Point on Toronto Islands, the first seaplane base in Canada.

Long Branch became the Cadet Ground Training School for the Royal Flying Corps.
