Ganges Water Aerodrome is a seaplane base in Ganges Harbour on Salt Spring Island, served by Harbour Air, Salt Spring Air, and Seair Seaplanes with scheduled floatplane flights to Vancouver Harbour (Coal Harbour) and YVR South Terminal; it has no true ICAO code, only the Transport Canada location identifier CAX6, and no runways, ATC, customs, or fuel facilities — it is a small, unstaffed dock-based aerodrome typical of the Gulf Islands seaplane network.

Harbour Air Seaplanes (incl. Salt Spring Air)
Harbour Air self-handles its own scheduled seaplane service at Ganges Harbour (internal station code GNG) from the Grace Point Square terminal, 115 Fulford-Ganges Rd. A Harbour Air job posting for a Ganges-based Customer Service Agent (station GNG) lists on-site duties covering flight closure, aircraft weight-and-balance checks, pre-boarding and general boarding of passengers, with no third-party ground handler used at this station. Salt Spring Air, a formerly independent Ganges-based floatplane operator, was acquired by Harbour Air Seaplanes effective Dec. 1, 2015 and continues flying under the retained Salt Spring Air brand from the same terminal.

Harbour Authority of Salt Spring Island (HASSI)
HASSI, the non-profit harbour authority managing eight public wharf facilities across five Salt Spring harbours from its office at 127 Fulford-Ganges Rd, is listed in Wikipedia's aerodrome infobox (sourced from Transport Canada aerodrome data) as the registered operator of Ganges Water Aerodrome (TC LID CAX6, IATA YGG). Its Ganges Breakwater Dock includes a dedicated airplane float where Harbour Air moors floatplanes, and HASSI is the confirmed proponent of a 1.2 million dollar project, partly funded by the Island Coastal Economic Trust, adding two new seaplane docks and transient moorage at Ganges Harbour to expand capacity.
