While in Moose Jaw this last weekend (September 8 & 9th) I found out that both
Viterra elevators in Wadena, Saskatchewan appear to be on the demolition list for later
this year. Anyone in the area please keep your eyes open!
Just discovered thanks to Lila Cugini on the Vanishing Sentinels Facebook page
that the Crystal City Paterson elevator burned down this afternoon. We were out there back in June and are in major shock on this major loss to the community!
I also found out that these three Manitoba elevators below are on the demolition watch.
They are (L-R) Homewood, Sanford and Justice.
I will let everyone know when these are going to be coming down!
Also major thanks to Johnnie Bachusky
who alerted me that the Coderre, SK
Sask Pool was also demolished sometime in
mid July, 2018
Just got notice yesterday that the
Indian Head, Saskatchewan P&H elevator
is being demolished.

I've also updated the demolition and elevator maps for Google earth.
The book is complete and ready for orders!
