The Revelstoke Business and Visitor Information Center Building, built by VVI Construction, has won an ‘Award of Excellence” for Design and Construction at the 6th Annual Southern Interior Construction Association Commercial Building Awards, held on Thursday, October 23rd, 2014. This is the second year in a row that VVI Construction has won this prestigious award; having won for its completion of Mica Heli
Ski Lodge last year in January 2013. Consequently, that project won the Judge’s Favorite award and received the ‘Gold Excellence’ standard. The Revelstoke Business and Visitor Information Center was a unique collaborative effort from VVI Construction, Revelstoke Land and Development, the City of Revelstoke, the Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce, and the Columbia Basin Trust along with various local subtrades and suppliers; all making this versatile building a commercial success.

The date and location for next year’s Battle of the Border is set: April 25, 2015 at Hillside Stadium in Kamloops. This track and field meet brings together high school athletes from Calgary, Southern Alberta and British for what has become a great kickoff to the high school outdoor track and field season. The Battle of the Border is the creation on Andy Pfeiffer, head coach for Revelstoke High School’s Avalanche track and field team. "Each year the Battle gets bigger and better as more schools commit to taking
part.” said Pfeiffer. “It is the kind of track and field meet that really works in creating interest, promoting track and field and getting the athletes energized. School and provincial pride are on the line and, as a result, team building and support for their teammates are benefits that come with such an event.” The City of Kamloops and the Kamloops TF Club are key partners in the event, with the club forming the core of the host organizing committee and officiating crew. For more information on the Battle of the Border track and field meet, contact Andy Pfeiffer at APEIFFER@sd19. bc.ca.
