PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE OF THE REVELSTOKE FORUM & CURLING CLUB

RECENT UPDATES

March 2, 2026 - Survey Goes Live

The City of Revelstoke's survey is now available here!

This is Phase 2 of the community engagement process exploring a proposed replacement facility for the Revelstoke Forum Arena. This survey should take approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete.

This is your opportunity to help shape the future of indoor sports in our community. Please share your feedback by completing this interactive survey that explores the complex relationships between program options, costs and potential tax implications. You’ll be asked to share your thoughts about a new indoor sport facility in Revelstoke, and the features that matter most to you and potential locations.

February 26, 2026 - Media Release

Last night, the City of Revelstoke hosted an open house to update the community on the condition of the current arena facility. We were pleased to have 120 people join us in person and another 264 participate online.

Staff are compiling answers to all questions received. Once complete, these responses will be posted on the arena project page.

If you were unable to attend, the full session was recorded and is available for viewing on the City's You Tube: City of Revelstoke - YouTube or by accessing the following link: https://rvst.ca/livestream.

PROJECT LIFECYCLE OVERVIEW

Phase I – Communication & Engagement - COMPLETED

On April 18, 2023, the City launched the first phase of public engagement to learn more about the community’s interests and considerations about potential options for the future of the Revelstoke Forum and Curling Club. In July, Council reviewed a What We Heard Summary Report prepared by Katie Hamilton, Tavola Strategy Group. During this consultation phase, the community expressed interest in building a new arena as part of a new multiplex facility. The input received in Phase I is being used to inform the next phase of option development and further consultation.

Phase II – Feasibility Study - IN PROGRESS

On May 9th, 2024 Council awarded the contract for an Indoor Multi-Sport Facility Feasibility Study to HCMA Architecture & Design. The purpose of the feasibility study is to determine the appropriate mix of amenities at a new indoor multisport facility, to determine the costs associated with building the complex, to determine the potential cost recovery of the new complex, and to determine the costs of operating the complex.

Multipurpose Facility Advisory Committee - IN PROGRESS

City Council has established an advisory committee to oversee the development of a concept plan for a new multipurpose facility. The Committee held their first meeting on June 19th, 2024.
