Selkirk residents are about to add a whole bunch more lights to the community and extend the downtown light show further along residential Eveline Street, in partnership with festive homeowners and Canadian Tire.
Since Holiday Alley’s creation, more than 130,000 LED lights have been installed on 40 buildings in Selkirk’s old downtown to bring beauty and increase community safety. Looking to engage the neighbours and create greater accessibility to celebrate the holiday season, Canadian Tire Selkirk has teamed up with Holiday Alley to extend the energy and help homeowners light all the way down residential Eveline Street.
Homeowners between the bridge and town limits, can apply to Holiday Alley to receive a $50 gift card to Canadian Tire Selkirk to purchase energy-efficient lighting and lighting décor.
Apartment dwellers can light up their windows and balconies facing Eveline, and submit a picture in a draw for Canadian Tire gift cards.
“We see this as an opportunity to brighten our community spirit this year,” said Edgar Head, co-owner of Canadian Tire in Selkirk. “We have a big range of LED and energy-efficient lights that can help light up trees, windows, porches, you name it, we’re just really excited to see the neighbourhood take ownership over this project and see all the creative lighting designs they can come up with.”
“If there was ever a year to step up our efforts and add some energy, especially during a long winter, this is the year,” added Michelle Head, co-owner of Canadian Tire.
Residents on Eveline can sign up with Riley Aisman, one of Holiday Alley’s Helpers, [email protected].
Up to 50 gift cards are available for the first 50 homeowners who sign up for the Canadian Tire’s Light Up Eveline project.
