Yay for Selkirk!
The amazing volunteers and hard workers at Holiday Alley just picked up the Academy award of events – an “Oscar” from Recreation Manitoba. The People & Community Award goes to Holiday Alley in Selkirk! This award recognizes a group that helps a place flourish through events, recreation, programming and services. Way to go Selkirk! Thanks to our partners in flourishing - Ellie Longbottom and Kyla Ray at the Culture, Recreation and Green Transportation department of City of Selkirk for doing all the hard work to get an application submitted on behalf of Holiday Alley, a project of Red River North Tourism.
Also, congrats to Ian Goodall-George, Interlake Regional Consultant for the provincial department of Sport, Culture and Heritage. He was one of several provincial civil servants honoured with an Award of Merit.

Congratulations to the Winner of the Soup Cook-Off: Manitoba Hydro!
Two hundred citizen judges ate a dozen soups before declaring that the team from @manitobahydro knew how to make the best soup in the 2022 Holiday Alley Soup Cook-Off. They came in first with their version of Thai Soup. Curiously the Selkirk Golf and Country Club won 1st in 2021 - also for their Thai Soup. Second place this year was taken by the cooks from the Army Navy and Air Force Veterans Club with third to the cooks from The MacGarvie Candy Store. For six years Inclusion Selkirk has organized the Soup Cook-Off for the community.
Thank you to all of the teams and hosts this year:
Gordon Howard Centre
Harry`s Foods
Riverside Grill
Selkirk Golf Course
Inclusion Selkirk
The Mighty Kiwi Juice Bar & Eatery
Roxi`s Uptown Cafe
Glow Fitness for Women
Selkirk Fire Department
Sake Japanese Restaurant

The soup was next level, and we can`t wait to do it again!
