The most obvious attraction of Selkirk is Chuck the Catfish, an 11-meter-tall fibreglass catfish statue.

The statue was built in 1986 and named in memory of local sport fisherman Chuck Norquay.

The Red River running nearby Selkirk is known for its large catfish and as such the town of Selkirk promotes itself as the Catfish Capital of the World.
