Enhancement provides alternative to onerous stairs and comes thanks to $83,500 from Columbia Basin Trust's new seniors' housing fund

It’s that time of year: Coyotes are ā€œback in packā€ around Revelstoke’s north end with their kits, meaning residents should exercise caution & know to act aggressively if they closely encounter them. #revelstoke #revy @RevelstokeRevue https://t.co/RQG0dpcQRn

If approached by a coyote, Parks Canada recommends stomping, yelling or throwing something
