Burns Lake: Local group has sights set on re-opening theatre
The Lakes District Film Society, formed in October 2008, have a common interest in film and aspire to purchasing the Beacon Theatre on Hwy. 16 as a community venture.
The society proposes to operate the Beacon Theatre as a non-profit, community-owned enterprise.
According to society member Michael Riis-Christianson the idea has been successful in other communities in B.C..
“The Salmar Community Association purchased a small theatre in Salmon Arm in the late 1940’s,” he said.
…The society’s goals are to bring together residents of the Lakes District who share a common interest in film and television, to encourage interest in film and television as art and education by screening films and television programs of cultural, artistic, educational and entertainment merit and to provide the residents of the Lakes District with a means of accessing this entertainment
