A reminder from our pals at @mpidrive if you are indulging in some liquid merriment at the upcoming Holiday Alley. Even if it’s one or two, you know what to do.
Plan a safe ride home:
- Arrange a DD
- Bring extra cash for a taxi
- Pick up yummy treats to bribe a family member to pick you up
- Plan an overnight stay

We`re bringing a stunning new art and light installation to Holiday Alley this year with the help from local students and teachers. There will be 24 orange artful umbrellas, each a canvas for different Indigenous teachings and artwork, will be on display in Manitoba Avenue`s pocket parks.
The inspiring installation was envisioned and created by Shauna Cody as part of her personal dedication to the themes of truth and reconciliation through “The Colour Orange” project. They will be on display starting Friday night Nov 15th to Sunday morning Nov 17th in downtown Selkirk on Manitoba Ave. East.
