Volunteer & Stay for free.
September 23-24, 2023
September 30-October 1, 2023
Thanksgiving Back is an opportunity to be part of Revelstoke's strong community by volunteering with local organizations on sanctioned projects. As a thank-you, you can get the costs of your accommodation during the event dates reimbursed up to a value of $500 when you book two or more nights!
To be eligible for the reimbursement, visitors must:
- Have a permanent address outside of Revelstoke
- Register for and complete work on a sanctioned project (listed below)
- Book a stay of 2 nights or more through Tourism Revelstoke’s booking engine.
- After you complete your project, submit this form by October 6th, 2023.
Additional Terms & Conditions: Accommodation reservations must take place on the same dates as the service project you are registered for, but can extend longer than 2 nights. Longer reservations will still only be eligible up to a maximum of $500 CAD. Each person can only be eligible for reimbursement of one accommodation receipt. Double occupancy reservations are only eligible for one reimbursement. Each participant is entitled to a maximum of one reimbursement. Because this is an incentive to encourage travel to Revelstoke, the reimbursement is not available to people with a Revelstoke permanent address. Reimbursements may take up to 8 weeks after the event to process. If full and correct payment information is not provided by the deadline, you will not be eligible for reimbursement.
In partnership with
2023 Projects.

The Revelstoke Cycling Association (RCA) is responsible for maintaining and managing a world-class network of over 150 kilometres of trails on three mountains surrounding Revelstoke, from riverside rambles to alpine epics.

Railway Museum | Luna Rail
Sunday, September 24
Volunteering with the Revelstoke Railway Museum is a great way to engage with Revelstoke's heritage and meet other people who share a love of local history, the Canadian Pacific Railway, and trains. This year's volunteer project will be helping with the Railway Day event.
Revy Riders Dirt Bike
Saturday September 30, 2023
Build and maintain trails with the Revy Riders Dirt Bike Club. This is a great opportunity to make a contribution to the motorized trail community in town, and help build new features to enjoy during your next visit. Volunteers should be prepared to dig, and and bring appropriate clothing for working outside in the dirt, work gloves, as well as snacks and water. The club will provide volunteers with pick-axes, shovels, rakes and tools.
I believe anyone who comes into a community with the intention of contributing is a local.
