RCAF Detachment Burtch:
 
Opened in 1941 near the village of Burtch as the No. 1 Relief Landing Field for No. 5 SFTS, but was also used by No. 4 Wireless School in Guelph.  The detachment was transferred under the pervue of No. 16 SFTS in 1944 until that school's closure in March 1945. 
 
The detachment was sold to the Ontario Government and from 1948-2003, was the site of the Burtch Jail.  The site currently sits abandoned.  Only the abandoned and crumbling runways remain from the RCAF days.
 
As of 2009, the Ontario Realty Corporation was in the process of demolishing all buildings in anticipation of turning the property to the Haudenosaunee/Six Nations community.
