[0:00] 2025 [music] is coming to a close. And
before we switch the calendar on our
[0:04] wall and dive into a brand new year,
[music] let's take a moment to slow
[0:08] down, relax, and celebrate all that we
have to [music] be grateful for. This
[0:13] year, our community spirit shone
brighter than ever in 2025. [music]
[0:18] We came together at the waterfront for
another unforgettable [music] Canada
[0:22] Day. We gathered in our historic
downtown for another wonderful holiday
[0:27] alley [music] and took in the dazzling
lights together at the Santa parade of
[0:32] lights. Moments like these remind us why
Selkerk is such a special place to call
[0:37] home. A city where coming together is
just [music] part of who we are. As we
[0:42] celebrate, let's also hold space [music]
for those experiencing hardship. From
[0:47] those struggling here at home to those
impacted by tragedies around [music] the
[0:52] world, the holidays are a reminder of
the power we each have to bring
[0:57] kindness, compassion, and hope to the
world. The season [music] is about
[1:02] spending time with the people we love.
Whether it's sharing a cup of hot
[1:06] chocolate with a grandchild, strolling
through Selkerk Park with a friend or
[1:11] watching a favorite movie with [music] a
sibling, these are the small moments
[1:15] that will become become lifelong
memories. Looking ahead [music] to 2026,
[1:21] we have so much to be excited about,
including the long- awaited [music]
[1:25] second act of the Gary Theater. A space
in our revitalized downtown that will
[1:31] once again [music] become a cornerstone
for culture, connection, and creating
[1:36] [music] more treasured memories
together. We thank all our citizens
[1:41] [music] for helping us make Selk the
vibrant, thriving, tight-knit community
[1:47] that we love. and for your [music]
continued support as we shape a brighter
[1:52] future for everyone from Selker Council.
>> Merry Christmas and happy holidays
[1:59] » and all the best [music]
in 2026.
