The Government of Saskatchewan has designated the Veregin Christian Community of Universal Brotherhood Grain Elevator as the province’s newest Provincial Heritage Property. The elevator is adjacent to the Canadian National Railway track in the former village of Veregin, located 50 kilometres north east of Yorkton, and is a part of the National Doukhobor Heritage Village.
Amongst the oldest known grain elevators in Saskatchewan, the Veregin Christian Community of Universal Brotherhood Grain Elevator represents an important phase in the evolution of grain handling facilities. First appearing in Saskatchewan in the 1880s, wooden crib grain elevators such as this were the standard method of construction for over 100 years. At one time there were more than 3,000 of this type of elevator across the province. Today, only a fraction of these buildings remain.
In addition to its representation of wooden elevator construction in Saskatchewan, the Veregin Christian Community of Universal Brotherhood Grain Elevator is also being recognized for its association with the co-operative movement in Saskatchewan. Farmer-owned co-operative organizations, such as the Christian Community of Universal Brotherhood and Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, which later owned this elevator, played a pivotal role in the handling of grain in the province during the early 20th century.
Provincial Heritage Property designations help protect important places in Saskatchewan’s history for the benefit of all citizens.
