A 30,000-bushel wooden grain elevator at Hazelridge, on the CPR Keewatin Subdivision in the Rural Municipality of Springfield, was built in 1936 by the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society. Sold to Manitoba Pool Elevators in 1973, the two elevators were operated together for a time. It was demolished in 1975.
