This airfield is a registered airport but with prior registration required before flying to it.
It is listed in the Canada Flight Supplement under CNV4.

Its main runway is turf, 1775 meters long, with a 09-27 bearing.

The Montreal Soaring Council formed on June 25, 1946 when three clubs, The Canadair Recreation Association, The McGill Gliding Club and The Montreal Gliding Club amalgamated.

The Montreal Soaring Council finally found a permanent home in 1957 at Hawkesbury, Ont., after many years of flying from different locations (Montreal East, Granby, St. Eugene and even Pendleton for a short time).

It averages 2,600 flights a year, and operates seven days a week (May-November) weather permitting. Like most gliding clubs in Canada, it is a non-profit organization and any person in good health is eligible for membership.
