LOOKING AHEAD: Events that support your success

Christmas is probably the LAST thing on your mind, and we don't blame you! But it's our job to plan ahead to deliver quality events that support the success of your business. A group of highly experienced and enthusiastic community members have formed a committee to reignite our community’s Christmas spirit, and we recognize the value in this collaboration. We'd love to see our commercial buildings lit up and there's a big push to make this happen for 2021.

Please take 3 minutes to answer a few questions so we can hear your level of interest and capacity to participate. Click here to complete the survey.

Join us at our AGM on Zoom. We'll hear updates from our President, our Executive Director and our Visitor Experience Manager as we recap 2020.

2021 MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS.


Revelstoke and its surrounding areas continue to be a highly desirable place for us to work, live and play. We are working hard to ensure that Revelstoke is a great place to do business.

All membership rates continue to remain frozen, as we know that now is not the time for increases.

This year we'll continue to advocate on your behalf, provide networking and marketing opportunities, keep our finger on the pulse of what's happening in our business community, and team up with our working partners to provide the best support possible.

We thank you for your continued membership. Please watch for the 2021 invoice in your email. It is a privilege to work with and for you.
