UPDATE: Community Connections Revelstoke’s outreach building wraps construction

🏔️ Community Connections Revelstoke Society’s (CCRS) outreach building reopens after construction to improve access and washroom facilities.

 “We are back open for drop-in hours and resources after accessible bathroom upgrades,” CCRS tells Revelstoke Mountaineer. Accessibility upgrades to an entrance and two bathrooms were the main projects for the construction.

"I’ve been enjoying your council meeting updates for a while now, and wanted to take the time to say thank you for doing this. Having an unbiased reporter summarize what was said and what decisions were made at meetings is super valuable to residents. I find the updates informative and well written.
