If you’ve been waiting to watch your favourite movies on the big screen, here’s some good news.
With Manitoba loosening more restrictions as a part of Phase 4, the Countryfest Community Cinema is reopening this Friday.
On Saturday, July 25th the province gave movie theatres in Manitoba the all-clear to reopen at 30% capacity, and the local cinema is kicking off their reopening with some classic movies including ‘Jurassic Park’, ‘Harry Potter’, and ‘Back To The Future’.
Countryfest Community Cinema General Manager Ron Suchoplas says they’ve invested in a new way to arrange and reserve seats.
“Out of this little bit of darkness came a little bit of light. It was a costly expense but it makes our physical distancing part a little bit easier because we’re able to set up the spacing and seating in the theatre using technology.”
He adds that there will be enhanced cleaning protocols in place after every movie.
“Because of the cost of them I didn’t pull the trigger on it until we got the go ahead to reopen, but we ordered a disinfectant fogger. In between show times after we clean the theatres, we’re going to disinfect them.”
For more information, and to get tickets this weekend, you can visit the Countryfest Community Cinema website.
