Clandeboye Avenue

Streets of SelkirkBy City of Selkirk Staff and ContributorsFebruary 15, 2018

From the dramatic moment James Colcleugh stepped off a York boat in 1875 to string Western Canada’s first telegraph line, to a momentous 1877 royal visit by Lord and Lady Dufferin, Clandeboye Avenue marks the exact birthplace of Selkirk. Discover how a frontier crossing transformed into a town built on fierce British loyalty.

Britannia Avenue

Streets of SelkirkBy City of Selkirk Staff and ContributorsDecember 28, 2017

Named during a peak of British patriotism at the outbreak of WWI, Britannia Avenue stands as a tribute to Selkirk’s deep ties to the monarchy. This exhibit explores the profound local impact of the Great War—from the halting of local industry and the mobilization of the 108th Battalion, to an Armistice celebration unexpectedly silenced by the Spanish Flu.
