History
RCAF Station Prince Albert
The airport was originally opened near Prince Albert on 22 July 1940 under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan as No. 6 Elementary Flying Training School, with Relief Landing Fields located near Hagen and Emma Lake. The school closed on 15 November 1944.
From 17 March 1941 to 11 November 1942, the station also hosted No. 6 Air Observer School.
Not much remains of the former No. 6 EFTS. A monument was erected to pay tribute to the 17 airmen and one civilian who died in training accidents at the school.
