Between 1884 and 1910, Selkirk exploded from a mere dot on a map into a thriving riverside hub. Discover the boom era of local hatcheries, new social clubs, and the mysterious disappearance of the town’s founder.
Rising 40 metres above the community, the Selkirk Water Tower is much more than a piece of municipal infrastructure—it is a landmark rich with history. From the town’s first pressurized waterworks system in 1906 and a “bilious green” 1960s Watersphere, to an award-winning modern redesign and a vibrant 2025 heritage mural, explore the evolution of Selkirk’s most visible civic icon.
