Style of Life
Over 7,500 residents are happy to share their vision of mountain living, where economic prosperity is sensitive to the preservation of culture and environment. Recreation and businesses are all easily accessible. Revelstoke has the distinct advantage of affordable housing and a tradition of low taxation. The easygoing lifestyle is, in itself, an attraction from the frantic pace of city life. The mountain location and the independent nature of the city have encouraged at-home solutions and planning processes. Revelstoke has a strong core of committed civic and business leaders working to maintain and improve the quality of life.
Pride in the Community
Revelstoke has a very strong sense of community, and local residents take great pride in the community and in a legacy of innovative and community-based achievements.
Community revitalization, the
Revelstoke Community Forest Corporation, the
Revelstoke Railway Museum, and the
Revelstoke Community Foundation are tangible results of the many community-based initiatives that have benefited the city.
Grizzly Plaza is the heart of downtown Revelstoke. Renowned for its life-size bronze bear statues, the Plaza creates a strong retail focus and acts as a meeting place for the community and a nightly summer showcase for live entertainment.
