Kirkpatrick Grain Elevator


The Kirkpatrick grain elevator was originally built as an Alberta Pacific Grain Company elevator in 1924.  In the late 1960s it was purchased by Federal Grain Limited who in turn sold it to the Alberta Wheat Pool in the early 1970s.  Some time in the 1980s is was sold again to an independent farmer.  


And the good news is...all these years later it is still in use.

Вічная Память




A colourful and attractive sculpture just inside the entrance to Crescent Park in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.


The plaque reads:
" - Ukrainian Sunflower Tribute -

"This sculpture was commissioned by the Downtown Moose Jaw Association and made possible by a generous donation from St. Vladimir Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

"The church stood proud in Moose Jaw for nearly seven decades.  The church members, residents of our beautiful city of Moose Jaw, graciously dedicated their skills and time to the community.

"This sunflower sculpture demonstrates that people, just like sunflowers, can grow strong and proud even in adverse conditions.
