A 35,000-bushel grain elevator in Clanwilliam, on the CNR Rossburn Subdivision in the Rural Municipality of Minto-Odanah, was built before 1911 for the Clanwilliam Farmers Elevator Company. Sold to the Inter-Ocean Grain Company in 1928, it was re-sold to Pioneer Grain in 1972. It was closed in 1978 and later demolished.
