Donation Boxes!! We have a few new donation boxes that we would love to have in different locations in Nanton and in areas around Nanton (I’m looking at you Claresholm, Vulcan, High River, Okotoks, Turner Valley)
If you are a business that you think would be able to help the Canadian Grain Elevator Discovery Centre raise funds, we can drop off a donation box to you!
Message us and see how you can help. ...

Fun announcement!! The Canadian Grain Elevator Discovery Centre is happy to partner with the CAOS - Calgary Animated Objects Society for the showing of select films for the Festival Of Animated Objects!!
We will be having (approved by AHS) Drive-in movie screenings of select films submitted to the festival, projected onto the side of the Green Elevators! If you missed it at Halloween, you won’t want to miss this! There will be family sessions and movie adult screenings to take part in.
Tickets will be on sale soon, and we are partnered with Stuthornes to provide amazing snacks with each ticket purchase to have while you watch the films.
We are so excited we had to let you know to save the date, book the babysitter, or make plans to drive out to Nanton on March 19&20!
More details and tickets sales to come! ...

Happy #CdnAgDay!! Agriculture is a HUGE part of the Elevators history and we are excited with ideas and plans to expand our Education program at the Canadian Grain Elevator Discovery Centre and be a centre for knowledge of the past in Agriculture and how the elevators were a part of things. Rail is another exciting part that we hope to continue to grow our collection and knowledge of the history.
Thank you to our local farmers, ranchers, producers and dealers who help keep Canadian Agriculture moving and feeding our communities. ❤️🐓🐄🐖🦬🐑🐂🌾 ...

Lights done for now - and taking them down was wayyyyy nicer than putting them up (at -25 degrees).
We have lots of ideas for what may come next, stay tuned and keep your eyes on the Elevators to see what we may do.
Right now the lights are temporary setups, but if this is something you want to see on a regular basis, we please ask for you to make a donation so we can get the proper equipment installed more permanently and we can cover our power bills with ease.
You can donate on our Canada Helps Page - www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/nanton-and-district-grain-elevator-historical-and-cultural-s/
By Benevity, etransfer, chq or cash! ...
