Residents of and visitors to Revelstoke may have noticed a significant upgrade to the signage around town over the past month.
The City of Revelstoke and Tourism Revelstoke have installed new signage, hoping to improve visitor navigation and create a cohesive look that reflects Revelstoke’s brand and history.
The new look is based on historic signage from the railway station, with the original currently on display at the Revelstoke Railway Museum.

The design incorporates the look of steel, bricks, and powder-coated aluminum, to reflect the community’s industrial heritage.
Development was made possible through extensive engagement with community groups, members of the public, and the Revelstoke Museum and Archives.
Improvements to signage were made possible with Resort Municipality Initiative funding through the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport.
