The city of Williams Lake will once again be marking the locals-only holiday of Wrestling Day on January 2, 2025.

City council passed the motion during their regular council meeting on Dec. 3, 2024, to mark the municipal holiday once again.

Each year, the city must revisit whether or not to continue to declare the holiday.

Wrestling Day is unique to Williams Lake, and is celebrated, or perhaps more accurately, quietly passed, and has been officially marked since 1959.

But Williams Lake has closed up shops on January 2 as a day for rest and recovery since the early 1940s at least, and the idea for the holiday is credited to local merchants William Sidney 香蕉视频直播淪id香蕉视频直播� Western and Alistair 香蕉视频直播淎l香蕉视频直播� Mackenzie. 

The holiday gives many local citizens and merchants alike, the opportunity to take one more day to recover if their new year's celebrations were too vigorous, or to enjoy one more day of outdoor or indoor personal pastimes.

Either way, have a Happy Wrestling Day on Jan. 2 Williams Lake, courtesy of your local city council. 

For those who are not marking the holiday, have a wonderful day nonetheless.
