The Meaford airport was previously named Owen Sound Billy Bishop Regional Airport, after the larger nearby town of Owen Sound and the Canadian World War I flying ace Billy Bishop. In November 2009, the Toronto City Centre Airport added Billy Bishop at the start of its name, creating confusion with the Meaford airport. In September 2024, the Meaford airport changed its name to Major-General Richard Rohmer Meaford International Airport. Rohmer, who turned 100 on 24 January 2024, attended the renaming.^[3]
