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.

Meet Mac the Moose.  

Standing at just a touch under thirty-four feet tall, he is the tallest moose sculpture in the world.  You can see him in person at the Tourist Information Centre in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.
