Community Conversations - Shaping our Future 2041

OCP Vision

Revelstoke will pursue a sustainable mountain community by balancing environmental, social economic, and cultural values within a local, regional and global context. Our rich heritage and stunning natural environment inspire us to be forward-thinking, inclusive, resilient, and welcoming. We will create a supportive, vibrant community for those that live, work and visit here today and in the future.

Community Priorities

To achieve the future we envision, our community priorities are:

• A range of housing options and affordability;
• Environmental protection and stewardship;
• Climate change action;
• Personal and community economic growth and stability;
• A responsive and caring social support system;
• Opportunities for lifelong learning;
• Fostering of diverse cultural and spiritual values, and,
• A range of recreation and activities for residents and visitors.

Revelstoke will change and grow over the next 20 years...

• Research shows that Revelstoke will likely add an additional 2,700 people and require approximately 1,219 new homes over the next 20 years 
• The seasonal population and workforce will likely increase from 550 in 2019 to over 750 in 2041
• Tourism is also projected to increase accommodation capacity by 1,313 new beds 
• In 2016, Revelstoke’s housing was made up of 78% single-family units, 10% row/duplex, and 12% apartments 
• The types of housing developed have impacts on affordability, the amount of land required, infrastructure costs, travel patterns, environment, and sense of community (to name a few)

What opportunities and challenges do you think Revelstoke will be faced with over the next 20 years?
