I’d like to welcome Bob St. Cyr as a new contributor to Grain Elevators of Canada.
Bob is a fine art photographer and has shared a few of his stunning images with this site.

Grain Elevators across Canada
Mark Zulkoskey has been photographing grain elevators in Saskatchewan for 10 years, and has photographed all but nine of them.
Thank you, Mark, for contributing some of your work to this site!
You can see some of them as links from his contributor page.
I’d like to issue a warm welcome to my friend, Jason Paul Sailer.
Jason and I have gone railfanning and elevator fanning several times, both in “his” province of Alberta and “my” province of Manitoba.
A few elevators he has contributed photos of include:
Pat Scrimgeour has contributed many grain elevators to Grain Elevators of Canada. These date from his trips to the prairie provinces in the mid-2000s and cover towns from Antler to Zenon Park.
Some of Pat’s work is shown at:
BW Bandy travels the back roads in Alberta and beyond, looking for interesting buildings and signs to photograph and share. His blog Everybody Has To Be Somewhere is well worth reading, both for the photographs but also for his wry sense of humour.
Some of BW’s elevator photos can be seen at:
Welcome to Eric May, another contributor to Grain Elevators of Canada. Eric has contributed some photos taken in 1972 during a cross-country trip on the CN Super Continental passenger train. These photos provide a nice “time capsule” look at some elevators that either have changed significantly or disappeared entirely.
Some examples :
I want to welcome Michael Truman to the growing cast of grain elevator enthusiasts who have contributed to this site.
Some of Michael’s contributions to this site include:
See all our contributors!
Photographer Jan Normandale has shared several of his grain elevator photos with us. Jan photographs a wide variety of subjects, from elevators to abandoned places to landscapes, and you can see some of his work on his Tumblr page.
A few elevators that Jan has shared:
I’d like to welcome new contributor Jenn Tanaka!
Jenn drives all over Alberta looking for abandoned places, and writes about them on her excellent blog, West of the 5th.
For a few examples of Jenn’s photos, see Lousana or Rowley.
Thanks, Jenn!
I’d like to give a welcome to new contributor Adam Bouvier! When I put out a call for contributions to this site, he stepped up with a large catalog of images.
Adam has been taking photos of elevators for over a decade, and has many photos of elevators in Saskatchewan in particular that I do not have. I’ve been populating a lot of the pages here with his photos – see Fleming and Tonkin as two of many. In some cases he has photos of the same locations I do, but from an earlier time, so they provide some documentation on how the elevator or town has changed over the years.
Thanks, Adam!
Stay tuned for more new contributors!
