To preserve an Orléans silo built 69 years ago to store corn, the city is trying
to acquire the surrounding land for a park. The building, known as the Vinette
silo, was placed on the heritage register in 2011 following requests from the
community. Since then, city staff and heritage advocates have been trying to
figure out how to preserve the silo, near the town centre, and reduce graffiti
and litter on the building. via
