Three grain elevators stand here along the TransCanada Highway near Gull Lake Saskatchewan. This elevator is nearest the SK highway 37.

In 2019, when Blasterz visited, we turned off the TransCanada here to go to Eastend, home of the Royal Saskatchewan Museum's T-Rex Centre.

To us, it appeared that both of these grain elevators had been overcome by new technology and time. Both appeared to be no longer in operation, and in disrepair. This waymarked former Wheat Pool grain elevator does have a few modern bins next to it, so it may have been repurposed for another smaller use.

From Steve Boyko's excellent Grain Elevators of Canada website: (visit link)

"The town of Gull Lake, Saskatchewan has two grain elevators remaining, with another elevator nearby.

There is an ex UGG grain elevator in Gull Lake. This elevator has the old “V” Victoria brand logo showing through, similar to the ex UGG elevator in Morden, MB.
