RECREATION & CULTURE PROGRAMS 

The City of Revelstoke Parks, Recreation & Culture Department believes that every child should 

have the opportunity to enjoy and play sports. Research shows that participation in recreation 

improves health, life skills, teamwork, socialization and goal setting in children and youth. We want to 

make sure you know about the opportunities available to ensure all children have access to 

recreation and cultural activities. 

C.O.R. Recreation Passes 

The City of Revelstoke, through Council 

support, offers free annual recreation passes 

and 50% subsidy on certain recreation 

programs to low Income residents. Look for 

the heart logo labelled on programs that qualify

KidSport BC 

The KidSport concept was hatched in 1993 by 

board and staff at Sport BC as a way to help 

address the challenges faced by many families 

when registering their children in organized sport. 

Their mission is to remove financial barriers that 

prevent children from playing organized sports!

Revelstoke’s Youth Access Fund 

This fund was established to ensure all youth 

have equal opportunity to participate in sports, 

recreation, arts and culture programs, events 

and activities. The YA fund was designed to 

help remove financial barriers including 

registration fees, equipment, transportation 

and other costs associated with participation) 

for youth from low and modest income families 

to participate in activities that they would 

otherwise not be able to. 

JumpStart 

Jumpstart gives kids a sporting chance. 

Participating in sport not only helps the 

physical and social well-being, but helps build 

self-esteem. By helping kids get into the game, 

we are equipping them with determination. 

This confidence goes beyond practices and 

games. No kid should be left on the side lines 

but in Canada 1 in 3 families cannot afford to 

enroll their kids in organized sports. Jumpstart 

is here to help. 

Families requiring assistance need to fill out 

the application before the fees are due, as 

money goes directly to the organization. 

Applications can be submitted from January 1 

- November 1. 

Check online for application forms and more 

information or call: 

1-844-YES-PLAY.

participation), for youth from low and modest income families to participate in activities that they would otherwise not be

Nikki Maddison 

Celebrating 25 Years of Dedication: A Tribute to Our Remarkable Team Member 

Revelstoke, British Columbia – In the heart of our picturesque city, nestled amidst the majestic 

mountains and serene lakes, there exists a remarkable individual whose unwavering 

commitment has left an indelible mark on our community. This year we celebrate Nikki 

Maddison, who has dedicated an impressive 25 years to serving the people of Revelstoke. 

A Journey That Began in 1999 

Nikki embarked on her journey with the city back in 1999, when the sun-kissed days of summer beckoned her to 

the outdoor pool. As a casual lifeguard instructor, she stood watch over the shimmering waters, ensuring the 

safety of swimmers and imparting her wisdom to eager young minds. Those early years were filled with laughter, 

sunblock-scented memories, and the joy of teaching children the art of swimming. 

From Poolside to Pool Assistant Supervisor 

In 2005, when the city unveiled its sparkling gem—the newly built aquatic centre, Nikki dove headfirst into her 

role as the assistant supervisor. She traded her lifeguard whistle for a clipboard, helping oversee operations, 

coordinating swim lessons, and ensuring that every splash echoed with safety and happiness. 

The Rise to Supervisor 

Fast forward to the present day, and Nikki now wears the mantle of supervisor. For the past 3 years, she has 

steered the ship, guiding her team through the ebb and flow of seasons. Her leadership is like a steady 

current—gentle yet powerful—nurturing camaraderie among staff members and fostering a sense of belonging. 

Revy Roots and Family Ties 

Born and raised right here in Revelstoke, Nikki embodies the spirit of our community. Her voice and laughter 

echoes throughout the entire valley. When she’s not at the pool, you’ll find her around town with friends or 

family, definitely NOT camping. 

Simple Pleasures 

Nikki's joys are as straightforward as a perfectly executed backstroke. She revels in napping, finding solace in 

the quiet moments. Her taste buds dance to the rhythm of good food, whether it’s a hearty bowl of soup or a 

delicate pastry from the local bakery. She is perfectly content when she’s surrounded by friends and having a 

good time. Always willing to help those in need, Nikki is known for her welcoming, kind, and super fun character. 

The Heart of the Job 

Ask Nikki about the best part of her job….. It’s not the shimmering pool tiles or the neatly stacked kickboards. 

No, it’s the senior citizen patrons who greet her with warm smiles each day. They arrive early mornings to enjoy 

the quiet parts of the day, ready for their aqua aerobics class or walking the lazy river. Their resilience inspires 

her, and their friendship warms her soul. And then there are the little ones—the future Olympians in floaties. 

Their triumphant giggles as they conquer their fear of water remind her why she chose this path. She celebrates 

their every stroke, their every leap, and their newfound confidence. These tiny victories create bonds that 

stretch beyond chlorine-scented walls—they weave a tapestry of community. 

Dreams and Anticipations 

On slow days, Nikki gazes out from her office window dreaming of a far-off 

retirement. She dreams of lazy afternoons, sipping tea on her porch, and 

perhaps—fingers crossed—winning the lottery. The anticipation of 

freedom and leisure dances in her heart, as she imagines herself 

doing whatever she feels like! No doubt, this would include caring 

and giving to others in need with her big heart and apt for kind 

gestures. 

We raise our glasses to Nikki, let us honor her years of 

dedication to the City of Revelstoke. May all her years to come 

be as rich as her lottery ticket bearing the numbers that lead 

her to new adventures. 

Thank you, Nikki, for 25 extraordinary years. You 

are the heartbeat of our aquatics family, and your 

impact ripples through generations. Our centre 

wouldn’t be the same without you. 

28. 

Cheers to Nikki!

Guidelines on Appropriate Behavior at Skate Facilities 

There are a host of unwritten or informal rules which govern skateparks. 

This is called “skatepark etiquette”. 

Skatepark Etiquette is in place not only for fairness, but for safety. 

Below is a list of some common issues / things to be aware of if you are new to visiting skateparks. 

This list is not definitive however it is designed to provide guidance to new skaters and parents, and a 

refresher to return skaters. 

It’s a skatepark, not a playground 

Not a free day care – children must be supervised. Ensure that your child is aware of the etiquette 

rules and adheres to them. They keep everyone safe and ensures everyone gets to use the park. 

Flow 

Flow refers to the directions people go in a park. Each park has a flow or “lines” comparable to traffic. 

If you’re new to a park, take a few minutes to watch how people are using it so you can learn the flow. 

Go with the flow, not against it! 

Beginners 

Don’t just drop a new skater off by themselves at a skatepark. You can hang out as well. As an adult it 

can be easier to observe the flow the park and provide suggestions to your skater. For beginners, we 

suggest going to the skatepark at non-peak hours. That means go early and avoid going in the 

afternoons– especially on weekends. Heavy afternoon sessions at the skatepark can be intimidating, 

especially if your child is just learning. In general if your skater is just learning, have them stay closer 

to the sides of the park. Center areas can look wide open, but are often right in the middle of popular 

lines (paths) that most advance skaters may be flying through at any moment. It’s even better if your 

child can learn how to push and balance before going to the skatepark. 

If you’re an experienced skater, give beginners extra room and time. Respect them because we were 

all beginners at one point. And if their parents are around, maybe give them some advice, too, on how 

their kid can safely ride the park with everyone else. 

Sitting 

Don’t sit in areas that can be used for skating. This includes ledges, stairs, rails, and coping. The park 

has designated spectator seating. Standing on the edge of the bowl or half-pipe is also a big no-no. If 

you’re unsure, watch the “flow” or ask somebody if it’s okay to sit in a certain spot. 

No Snaking 

A big part of skate park etiquette is being aware of what everyone around you is doing. “Snaking” 

means going when it’s not your turn. Everyone needs to wait their turn at a skatepark. Watch the other 

skaters before you jump in, and wait your turn. Don’t snake! 

“Board!” 

If your board shoots out or away from you, you should yell “Board!” as a courtesy to other users. 

62. 

No Marathon Runs 

This is especially common among the little kids and scooters. A marathon run is where 

someone just keeps going and going without taking any breaks. This is particularly 

problematic when skating a bowl or ramp where there is typically only one user at a time. 

Keep runs short and when you bail, get out of the way so the next person can skate. 


Scooters 

Scootering is easy to do right away. Skateboarding is not. Learn the traffic patterns. Do not ride 

against the flow of other riders and don’t hang scooters over coping. 

Bikes 

Smooth tire bikes (BMX, jump) scooters, inline skates are permitted. However, no muddy tires. Dirt 

and little pebbles are treacherous to skateboard wheels. 

Mountain bikes are not permitted. There are many kilometres of trails to ride around Revelstoke. 

While the skate park looks fun to ride, your bike brings dirt and gravel – safety hazards for skaters. 

Happy riding on the trails! 

All Users 

Everyone has an equal right to be in the park whether it’s Skateboards, BMX, inline skates, or 

scooters. Please be courteous of other users and treat them with the same respect you’d expect. 

Respect The Park & Neighbourhood 

You should be proud of your local skatepark, so do your bit to make sure it looks good. Put your 

garbage in the bins provided and absolutely no tagging / graffiti. 

The Skatepark is located in a neighbourhood – be respectful of the neighbours – no foul language 

or loud music. 

Don’t Be Afraid To Apologize 

If you slip up and break one of the rules above, don’t be afraid to apologize to people when you 

realize it. If you get plowed over because you were in the way, dust yourself off, make sure the 

other rider is all right, and tell him you are sorry for not looking out. A simple apology goes a long 

way to fanning the flames of a hot head. 

Have fun! 

The most important part of being in the skatepark is to have fun and enjoy yourself. It doesn’t 

matter about how good you are as long as you have fun! The more you practice the better you will 

be and there is no substitute for practice.
