This Information Center is located on TransCanada Highway 1, near the entrance of the town of Grenfell, Saskatchewan, Canada.
An interesting fact, the building of the center is shaped as a scale down grain elevator, a typical construction in the Prairies. The center also figure in the catalog of Large Canadian Roadside Attractions.
Except the information, there aren't any facilities what so ever. On the other hand, a gas station with a convenience store & washroom is located across the street some fifty meter from the center.
