Tim Stapenhurst
Revelstoke City Council · 2026
Four years of showing up for Revelstoke.
I’m a dad, former firefighter-paramedic, local business owner and your City Councillor. I’m running for re-election because there is unfinished work worth carrying forward, and because this community deserves people who care enough to do the work.

Why I serve
Revelstoke is home.
I’m a dad raising my daughters, Madi and Jojo, here in Revelstoke. I’m also a local business owner and a former firefighter-paramedic. That career taught me that preparation, teamwork and follow-through matter when the stakes are high.
Those same principles have shaped my first term on Council: do the homework, raise issues directly and keep following the work when it needs to move beyond the Council table. I’m seeking another term because I care deeply about the direction of this community and believe the experience of the last four years can keep serving Revelstoke.
