If you are Canadian, you may not know that Tim Hortons actually owns a few camps around Canada. One of the camps named the Tim Hortons Children's Camp is situated in the village of Tatamagouche, Nova Scotia. as that is actually where Ron Joyce grew up.
Now, if you aren't from around that area of Nova Scotia, you may or may not be thinking "Tatamawhoozik?" and you are completely right. The total population of Tatamagouche is around 4,000 people if you include all those people around that live within about 15 kilometres of the main village. I actually have many relatives who live about here so I visit a good amount over in Tatamagouche. It's a cozy little village for sure, and if you were ever in Nova Scotia, I would suggest taking the Sunrise Trail through Tatamagouche, as it's very beautiful.
Now, enough about the village, let's check out the airport. It was only used for the Children's Camp and for nothing else, although it's been closed ever since Ron Joyce opened up the newer and still running Fox Harbour Airport (CFH4) but the camp hasn't destroyed it yet so I was able to use Google Maps and other sources to look upon the airport so that I could build it. You may notice that the runway is actually quite long (about 3500 ft) but it's quite narrow. This was because it was used for private jets, because even though the camp was mainly used for special children, there were the occasional rich kids that came over in their private jets. Most of the traffic was just Ron Joyce as he was actually quite the avid flyer.
This scenery doesn't currently have any custom models inside, although that is to come, so all I did so far was add the runway, parking spaces, and customize about 85 things, then add about 55 different polygons for roads and water as the streams and ponds nearby had decided that they weren't actually water in the simulator.
Also on a side note, this was my first scenery so far that is/was a real-life airport :)

Just to signal a typo error; Fox Harbour is CFH4 instead of CHF4 in your text;
Tatamagouche old icao code was CDA2, marked close in LittleNavMap.
Thanks a lot for your work!

Discovered there was an airstrip at the TH camp in Tatamagouche five minutes ago while looking at the area with my coworker and then found this gem immediately afterward. Bet it would be a fun hop from here to Fox Harb[ou]r in an ultralight. We shall see! Thanks for sharing this, I will absolutely add it when I get home!

Fox Harb'r might be a fun large project to work on in the far future, as I've got a few other plans currently. But, this area is so nice to drive and fly IRL around, for so many aircraft like ultralights, and even jets and eventually helicopters. Cheers!

I missed Tata (which was in all previous sims up to P3D) -- missed it so much that I was going to learn how to creat airports just to put in the strip! So Thanks!!
