Visiting the Canadian Grain Commission

Canada’s grain producers and anyone who buys or processes Canadian grain are invited to the Canadian Grain Commission headquarters in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

The Canadian Grain Commission arranges customized tours and meetings to provide visitors with an understanding about Canada’s grain quality and quantity assurance system.

Grain buyers from around the world learn what to expect from Canada’s quality control system. Processors learn how Canadian grain performs during processing. Canadian producers learn how their grain is graded and tested.

If you are a grain buyer, processor or producer we invite you to take a brief tour. These photos and descriptions will introduce you to some of the activities you may see during your visit.
