Thanksgiving back is an opportunity to see Revelstoke from a new perspective and have a positive impact while you travel.

Immerse yourself in our local culture and work alongside residents to lend a helping hand to our local non-profit organizations by volunteering for a registered project.

As a thank-you, you can get the costs of your accommodation during the event dates reimbursed up to a value of $400 when you book two or more nights!

Step 1: Decide which project is right for you

The first step in participating in Thanksgiving Back 2024 is to decide which of our local organizations projects you would like to volunteer for.

This year, the volunteer projects we are excited to feature are:

• LUNA Fest – September 20 – 22

• Revelstoke Snowmobile Club – September 21 – 22

• Local Food Initiative Food Commons Cleanup – September 28 – 29

• Revelstoke Reach Invasives – September 28

• Revelstoke Cycling Association – September 28

• Forestry Museum – September 29

Ready to register for the Friends of the Forestry Museum project? Make your way to Step 2!

Step 2: Registration

Registration for this project is now closed.

Step 3: Submit your Hotel Receipt

To confirm your registration, you must submit a screenshot or picture of your hotel reservation within 72 Hours.

If we do not receive this, your registration will be declined and your spot will be made available for other volunteers.

A few things to keep in mind:

• Please book your accommodation directly with your accommodator and avoid using sites such as expedia or booking.com. Booking direct helps support local businesses by eliminating large fees associated with online booking platforms which can sometimes be up to 30%.

• Hotel dates must be for the same duration of your volunteer event and a minimum of 2 nights.

• If you have any questions or concerns please contact us.

Did you remember to book direct?

• Booking direct helps support local businesses by eliminating large fees associated with online booking platforms which can sometimes be up to 30%!
• After fees and taxes, sometimes only half of what you pay actually goes towards the business and stays locally within our community. Every dollar that goes to an online booking platform is money that isn’t used to hire staff, upgrade facilities, or invest in the guest experience.
• Booking direct also ensures you’ll get the best rate and a better overall customer service experience,
  as you deal directly with accommodators. If you see a better rate through an online booking platform,
  we recommend giving the accommodation a call before you book, because often they will match it.
