abandoned / shut down, airstrip

Built in 1956-57 to support the construction and subsequent operation of the LIZ-C DEW Line Station at Peard Bay, this gravel airstrip operated through the 1963 closure of LIZ-C and has remained largely abandoned and non-maintained since.
Last used by crews conducting demolition and site remediation at the DEW Line site, the airstrip is no longer listed with FAA as operational, though it retains its FAA Identifier of WQJ.

Runway 8/26: 2,000ft/624m
