Like other RAF stations in Canada, it was subject to RCAF administrative and operational control.

In 1942, the school formally became part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan.

Although the runways and some concrete structures from the airbase remain, the airfield is no longer active for fixed wing use.

Some helicopter training, such as auto-rotation and hover practice, is still performed at the airfield, but all flights originate from other airports.

The airfield was constructed in a typical BCATP wartime pattern, with three runways formed in a triangle.
