00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,550
2025 [music] is coming to a close. And
before we switch the calendar on our

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:12,240
wall and dive into a brand new year,
[music] let's take a moment to slow

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:16,240
down, relax, and celebrate all that we
have to [music] be grateful for. This

4
00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:20,960
year, our community spirit shone
brighter than ever in 2025. [music]

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:25,119
We came together at the waterfront for
another unforgettable [music] Canada

6
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:29,840
Day. We gathered in our historic
downtown for another wonderful holiday

7
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:35,360
alley [music] and took in the dazzling
lights together at the Santa parade of

8
00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:40,480
lights. Moments like these remind us why
Selkerk is such a special place to call

9
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:45,200
home. A city where coming together is
just [music] part of who we are. As we

10
00:00:42,879 --> 00:00:50,160
celebrate, let's also hold space [music]
for those experiencing hardship. From

11
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:54,800
those struggling here at home to those
impacted by tragedies around [music] the

12
00:00:52,239 --> 00:01:00,239
world, the holidays are a reminder of
the power we each have to bring

13
00:00:57,199 --> 00:01:04,879
kindness, compassion, and hope to the
world. The season [music] is about

14
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:08,880
spending time with the people we love.
Whether it's sharing a cup of hot

15
00:01:06,479 --> 00:01:12,880
chocolate with a grandchild, strolling
through Selkerk Park with a friend or

16
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:18,159
watching a favorite movie with [music] a
sibling, these are the small moments

17
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:24,159
that will become become lifelong
memories. Looking ahead [music] to 2026,

18
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:29,119
we have so much to be excited about,
including the long- awaited [music]

19
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:34,079
second act of the Gary Theater. A space
in our revitalized downtown that will

20
00:01:31,759 --> 00:01:38,560
once again [music] become a cornerstone
for culture, connection, and creating

21
00:01:36,941 --> 00:01:43,520
[music] more treasured memories
together. We thank all our citizens
