Grain Elevators in Canada - 2021

The Grain Elevators in Canada - 2021 dataset maps the list of grain elevators in Canada as provided by the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC). The elevators have been located as much as possible to an actual location rather than generalizing to the station name centroid. Additionally car spot information from CN, CP and the grain companies has been added where this has been published.

This dataset attempts to provide a temporal and geographical extent of the grain elevators in Canada.
