Public Engagement Details

The City will be hosting interactive group sessions to gather feedback from the community about the opportunities and risks associated with three policy scenarios that have been developed, detailing how Short Term Rentals can be managed in our community. Four sessions will be held in person, and two will be held online. 16 spaces are available for each in person session, and 20 spaces are available for each online session. The sessions will be 1.5 hours in length, and structured with a brief 10 minute presentation by staff, followed up facilitated group discussion about each policy scenario. Details of each policy scenario are provided here.

The sessions will be held during the following times:

• Monday January 26: 10:00AM-11:30 AM 
• Monday January 26: 6:30 PM-8:00 PM 
• Wednesday January 28: 10:00AM-11:30AM 
• Wednesday January 28: 6:30 PM-8:00 PM 
• Monday February 2: 10:00AM-11:30 AM (ONLINE)
• Tuesday February 3: 6:30 PM-8:00 PM (ONLINE)

Staff will compile notes from each engagement session for reporting to Council. The intent of the interactive group sessions is for staff to understand the opportunities and risks so that when bylaws are drafted, these items can be accounted for to mitigate impacts and maximize opportunities.

In addition to the interactive group sessions, a public survey will be available until February 13, 2026. The survey is available for all members of the community, including those that attend the interactive group sessions. The intent of the survey is to allow the community to provide specific feedback under each scenario and highlight which scenario they think is most suitable for Revelstoke.
