The Winnipegosis grain elevator is a former National elevator, with attached balloon annex. The elevator and annex have a combined capacity of about 2,300 tonnes.

This elevator was on the CN Winnipegosis subdivision until the town lost rail service around 1982. The elevator is privately owned but does not appear to be in operation. The property appears to be used for vehicle storage.

The annex was demolished on or around March 4, 2021.

There is a coal shed on the opposite side of the elevator from the annex. Grain elevators used to sell many products in addition to storing grain, such as coal, fertilizer and farm supplies.
