A 160,000-bushel composite-style grain elevator at Letellier, on the CNR Emerson Subdivision in the Rural Municipality of Montcalm, was built by Manitoba Pool Elevators in 1961, after the preceding elevator was destroyed by fire in September 1960. When a large concrete terminal was built nearby in late 1998, the elevator was used for local storage for a few years until being demolished in early 2004.
