Friends of Mount Revelstoke & Glacier National Parks

The Friends of Mt. Revelstoke and Glacier was founded by a group of concerned citizens in 1986 and officially gained its non-profit status on February 5, 1987. Twenty years later it boasts a membership of 186 people from around the world interested in the preservation, protection, education and enjoyment of our national parks.

The organization funds a variety of projects ranging from research grants and bursaries to local publications (newsletters, books, brochures, field guides and guide books), educational programs and outdoor courses. The funding for these projects comes primarily from the revenue generated through the Glacier Circle Bookstore located in the Rogers Pass Information Center in Rogers Pass. Decisions and the administering of funds is the responsibility of eight volunteer directors. Directors terms are two years and a director can only sit on the board for a maximum of six years. Day to day operations of the society, and the management of the Glacier Circle Bookstore is the responsibility of the Executive Director.
