WHO WE ARE
The Alberta Legacy Development Society incorporated as a registered society to save, preserve and develop the Leduc Heritage Grain Elevator for future generations.
This is Helen Atkinson, our biggest advocate in gaining support for saving our grain elevator! Today the society is made up of a dedicated board and passionate volunteers that work to make sure our elevator is standing for future generations to see.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to educate our guests on the importance of Alberta’s agricultural and pioneering past, and advocate for the preservation of important heritage landmarks like ours.
