Community Giving

PART I - DECEMBER 2023

Our Destination Management Plan which was released as a draft earlier this year, is nearing the finish line when it comes to final approvals. There has been an incredible effort put in by residents, businesses, the city, and other community organizations to bring this document to life and we’re excited to get started implementing actions alongside our partners in the new year!

To kick things off, we’re excited to be joining Community Connections’ in their mission to raise $150K to help fight hunger within our community this holiday season. Did you know that this past year, our local food bank saw an average of 800-1000 visits every month? ...and it’s not just Revelstoke, food bank visits across Canada were 32% higher in March of 2023 in comparison to March of 2022.

PART II - JANUARY 2024

We invited you to come check out our holiday photo station at the Big Eddy Winter Market to help raise funds for Community Connections. Revelstoke, you did not disappoint! With over a hundred photos taken and 90+ Revelstoke Christmas cards distributed, we’re thrilled to announce that this event raised $3000 from the public to support our local food bank. With Tourism Revelstoke matching donations through this campaign, that brings the total fundraised from this evening to $6000!

In addition to this, Tourism Revelstoke was also prepared to contribute more funds in exchange for sign-ups to their marketing newsletter. Once again, Revelstokians pulled through, so we’re sharing an additional $17,000 with Community Connections this holiday season.

We had a great night spreading holiday cheer, pumping up the REVELSTOKE. brand, and meeting locals and visitors from around the world. Stay tuned for our next pop-up photo station fundraiser!
