The Revelstoke Community Centre will be getting LEDs thanks to a grant from the Columbia Basin Trust’s Energy Sustainability fund.

“This project will help us work toward reducing electricity consumption and associated costs in city-owned buildings,” said Caitlin Hinton, climate change coordinator for the city, in a news release. “This will help us meet the City of Revelstoke’s priorities of sustainability, livability and organizational resilience.”
