Sharples Grain Elevator – Another Prairie Grain Elevator Moves Towards Demolition

Last week I had the chance to go out with Nadeer Hashmi of CBC and talk about the disappearing grain elevators of the Canadian prairies. We visited one success story (Dorothy) and then we visited the site of an upcoming demolition (Sharples). These are two of the most photographed and beloved grain elevators in the province.

Thanks to Bill C-18, I am unable to share links to the article and video through platforms like Facebook, so I will link them here instead.

There is also a video version which you can find here:

    Good morning, Dan. I was looking for a way to reach you directly, but I couldn’t find an email address on this site.

    After watching this CBC article, I wanted to point out an issue with something you said. I’d be happy to talk more about it, and suggest you contact me at pcame418@mtroyal.ca

    It concerns the ownership and use of the barn you pointed toward.
