A wooden grain elevator at Napinka, on the CPR Estevan Subdivision in what is now the Municipality of Brenda-Waskada, was built in 1927 by Manitoba Pool Elevators on behalf of a local association. Pool A and Pool B were closed in July 1984 and sold for private grain storage. Used until 2000, the elevators have sat vacant since then.
