Valley Drive-In Theatre

Originally one of Canada's oldest solo screens, the Valley had gone dark when it's lease was not renewed. In an interesting turn of events, it was the local Lions Club that came to the rescue, and succeeded in obtaining a new lease on life for the venerable Drive-in. Since their re-lighting of the Valley, the Lions definitely roar .. with continuing support from appreciative and supportive audiences. The Valley is open on weekends, seasonally, from mid-May thru the end of September. The screen is lit with double features. Admission: $20 per carload (covers all passengers).

Meanwhile, an initial loan which the Lions bravely took-on to finance relighting what had become the Valley of shadows, has been repaid with proceeds from their very 1st season .. with money to spare, which was donated to local schools. In what it is to be hoped may serve as a practical model for the preservation of other Drive-ins gone dark, the Lions' pride continues to dedicate profits from operating the revived Valley Drive-in to benefit the community.
