Historic Sites of Manitoba: United Grain Growers Grain Elevator (Valpoy, Municipality of Ste. Rose)In 1924, United Grain Growers built a 30,000-bushel wooden grain elevator at this site at the Valpoy Siding on the CNR Ste. Rose Subdivision in what is now the Municipality of Ste. Rose. After operating on a part-time basis until 1931, the facility did not prove to be financially viable and was removed. A sign at the site commemorates it.
