Correction: An earlier version of this article said 40 per cent of Revelstoke has been vaccinated. That number may have been misleading as it’s based on 2016 Statistics Canada data. The article has been updated to include population data from BCStats, which Interior Health uses. According to BCStats, 10, 696 people live in Revelstoke for 2021.
