The Arden grain elevator stood next to the CP Minnedosa subdivision. In May 2014, there was a sign on the elevator for the Wheat Belt Community Futures project, now known as Community Futures Westman.

The elevator had a capacity of 2,720 tonnes.

It appeared to be two elevators, a larger central elevator flanked by an annex on one side and a smaller grain elevator on the other side, turned 90 degrees away from the normal orientation for an elevator. It is possible that the smaller elevator was a Lake of the Woods or Western Canada Flour Mills elevator, as both were present before 1940.
