A 30,000-bushel wooden grain elevator at Libau, on the CNR Victoria Beach Subdivision in the Rural Municipality of St. Clements, was built in 1935 by the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society. Expanded to 57,000 bushels in 1955, the facility was sold in 1973 to Manitoba Pool Elevators, becoming its second elevator at this point. Closed in 1975, the elevator was later demolished.
