Believe BC Campaign
Revelstoke Community Futures is participating in a provincial
advertising campaign to raise awareness of the impact of Community
Futures activity in our communities. Watch for articles on Wednesdays in
the Vancouver Sun and Province. Rural communities in this province have
wonderful success stories that were made possible with the assistance of
the Community Futures Program.

US Softwood Lumber Tariffs
So far, Revelstoke has managed to avoid job losses in sawmills and
logging operations.. The Revelstoke CFDC is under contract to Western
Economic Diversification Canada to monitor our community for impacts
resulting from the US imposed tariffs. Anyone having information
regarding job losses that can be directly attributed to the US Softwood
Lumber Tariffs, please contact Debra Wozniak at 837-5345.
Volunteering
Most community initiatives are a result of the hard work and dedication
of volunteers. Their contributions of time, energy, knowledge and
financial resources help improve the quality of our lives and the health
of our community. Revelstoke is increasingly being challenged to find
new ways to educate and protect our citizens, provide health care and
social services, safeguard the environment and invest in arts and
culture. Unfortunately many local organizations are not only
experiencing cutbacks in government funding but also realizing an
increasing need for volunteers. Building community capacity to meet
these challenges is a priority of the Revelstoke CF. We are initiating a
project to identify gaps and needs in the volunteer sector and find ways
to fulfill the growing need for volunteers.
