Give back while you visit! Join Thanksgiving Back in Revelstoke—volunteer, connect, and get your stay covered by helping the local community.
Fall in Revelstoke has a different feel – big days of action and adventure turn to shorter sun inspiring cozy and connection. Each year, the mountain town’s Thanksgiving Back initiative invites visitors to not only experience the charm of a quieter shoulder-season getaway, but to become part of the community in a meaningful way.
Thanksgiving Back is a unique regenerative tourism program that encourages visitors to spend a day volunteering with local non-profits in exchange for up to $400 for their stay. From trail building and food bank support to community cleanups and cultural projects, participants help tackle real needs while creating connections with program participants and the people who call Revelstoke home.
Unlike traditional tourism, this experience is about leaving a place you visit better than you found it. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with family, it’s a chance to blend your outdoor adventure with social impact.

Over the years, the program has seen over 200 volunteers contribute to more than 25 local projects, bringing in over $100,000 in economic benefits. Local businesses thrive, non-profits get the help they need, and visitors walk away with a deeper appreciation for the community.
Thanksgiving Back is more than an event – it’s a movement toward a more thoughtful, connected, and sustainable way to travel.
