With summer on the horizon, we're inviting Members to partner with us again in incentivizing the Summer Ambassador Program - an opportunity for businesses to showcase their brand and seasonal offerings to the next wave of Ambassadors.
Overview: The Ambassador Program can connect your business with an engaged and informed workforce who actively promote Revelstoke and it's local businesses, experiences and culture to visitors and within the community, no matter the sector they work in. By offering an exclusive incentive, you’re not just providing a perk - you’re creating brand advocates who experience your business firsthand and share it with others.
