History

Boundary Bay Airport was built in 1944 for use as an RCAF training base. It's location was chosen because Ladner typically has better weather than the rest of the lower mainland. Since WWII, the airport has changed hands several times, but served the General Aviation Community in the Vancouver area for a long time.
