Imagining Revelstoke’s Next Community Space

On March 2, the City of Revelstoke will release a community survey asking residents to help shape the future of indoor recreation in our community.

For many locals, the Revelstoke Forum holds decades of memories, from early-morning practices to packed community events. That history matters. At the same time, Revelstoke has grown, and so have the needs of the people who live here.

As City Manager and CEO Evan Parliament recently shared, “This isn’t just about replacing a hockey rink. There are other users that are in dire need of community space.” A future multipurpose facility could support far more than ice sports and be designed to serve residents year-round and across generations.

The survey focuses on opportunity: What amenities are needed? A walking track? Fitness space? A gymnasium or flexible community rooms? “We want to design this facility based on need,” says Parliament. “This survey is asking you to tell us what you think the community needs.”

The survey also provides transparency around potential tax implications, showing estimates for both residential and commercial properties. Projects of this scale cannot be funded solely by taxpayers; grants and external funding will also be required.

This is a chance to help shape a space that serves Revelstoke for decades to come. When the survey launches March 2, we encourage all residents to take 5–10 minutes to share their perspectives.
