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.
Western Red Cedar – qwekwtkwllp
RSS has chosen to represent the Western Red Cedar!
Known as qwekwtkwllp in Secwepemctsin (the language of the Secwepemc), Cedar is highly versatile and is used for everything from building materials, to antiseptics, to clothing. The harvesting of cedar bark is performed on healthy standing trees, and is guided by many protocols that include the time of year, size of the tree, and reciprocity. Cedar bark must cure for a long period of time before it is ready to use, so it is gathered according to seasonal routines, rather than when needed.
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.
A Seamless User Experience with Intuitive Navigation:
At the heart of our redesign is your user experience. We’ve meticulously crafted every aspect to ensure that navigating our websites is a breeze. 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. Whether you’re a parent seeking important updates or a visitor looking for information, you’ll appreciate the user-friendly design that simplifies your journey.
