Description of the flag

The flag of the City of Revelstoke, British Columbia, is white with city emblem specially designed for the flag. It shows a grizzly bear in brown standing on a brick foundation with greenery around, and a shield with previous logo of the City of Revelstoke which also was developed by a public contest in 1971. The designer was Dave Williams. This logo was a requirement to be included in the City's contest for an official flag. On the bottom a blue ribbon with two flowers on the ends and "REVELSTOKE" in white. The flag was chosen through a public contest in 1990. Information and photo of the flag thanks to Teresa LeRose, Deputy Director, Corporate Administration.
