Taha Attiah

He previously worked in the city's community economic development department and for local non-profits. He holds no elected office. He is a candidate for Mayor of Revelstoke in the 17 October 2026 municipal election.

Career

Attiah spent three years in the City of Revelstoke's Community Economic Development department and three years before that with non-profits, among them the Revelstoke Women's Shelter, the Indigenous Friendship Society of Revelstoke and the Canadian Mental Health Association's Shuswap-Revelstoke branch. He is general manager of the Revelstoke Community Housing Society. The Revelstoke Review reports that he produced a council-adopted business plan for municipal investment in housing and helped secure nearly $50 million from the province for the 166-unit Downie Street Redevelopment, which had stalled in permitting.

Positions

In his Revelstoke Review candidate profile, Attiah puts integrity and accountability first, with regular communication and quarterly evening town halls. He wants more value from existing city infrastructure and an assessment of wildfire and climate risks, and says visitors should pay for the amenities they use through sources other than local taxes. He treats affordability as both a housing and an employment issue, wants the city kept independent of lobbying, and says major decisions should be explained to the public before they are acted on.
