Can I find The Revelstoke Current if I Google it? You betcha!
I’m asked that question by at least one person a week. And the answer is yes. It wasn’t always so, of course.

But things have changed, despite the assertion of one local businessman who kept telling me last week that it wouldn’t come up in Google.
