Inspired by the Essence of Revelstoke:

Our website has been thoughtfully infused with the colours and elements inspired by the breathtaking beauty of Revelstoke’s local nature. From the vibrant hues of the mountains to the tranquil blues of the lakes, our website exudes a sense of individuality that mirrors the uniqueness of our community. 

Indigenous Foliage Elements

Each of our district sites will each feature a different foliage element indigenous to Revelstoke and with traditional importance to our Indigenous communities. On the homepage, you can click the foliage to learn further information on these important local plants.

Huckleberry – st’x̌ałqʷ

Begbie View Elementary School has chosen to represent the Huckleberry plant! Known as st’x̌ałqʷ in Nsyilxcən (the language of the Sinixt and Okanagan). Huckleberries are readily found on the mountains surrounding Revelstoke. Due to their abundance in this area, Revelstoke served as a huckleberry harvesting stop during the seasonal rounds for the Nations in this territory. Huckleberries are not only delicious straight off the bush but also preserve well, making them a valuable addition to winter food stocks.

Responsive Designs for All Device Sizes and Browsers:

Just as Revelstoke’s landscape adapts to the changing seasons, our website adapts seamlessly to all device sizes and browsers. Whether you’re accessing our website on a desktop, tablet, or smartphone, our responsive design ensures that you’ll have a seamless experience.

Whether you’re a parent looking for important updates or a visitor seeking information, you’ll find a user-friendly interface that simplifies your journey. Our intuitive navigation menu guides you effortlessly through our digital landscape, making it easy for you to find the content you’re looking for quickly and effortlessly.
