The Val Marie Elevator : A Living Heritage Project

A locally compiled booklet collecting short essays and reminiscences by residents of the Val Marie district, reflecting a range of perspectives from long-established families and more recent arrivals. The contributions address themes of agricultural settlement, community life, and regional identity, with particular attention to the history and operation of the local wooden grain elevator. Included are pieces on farming practices, Métis experience in the area, and personal memories associated with elevator work and grain delivery. The publication also documents the community initiative to preserve, restore, and interpret the remaining elevator as a working heritage site and museum.
