Hi all, I am new to the site and looking for help. I am a researcher on a book dealing with cinema in British Columbia. I would love to include reminiscences about specific theatres, photos, or any information about how film and theatres in general affected your life and/or community. This would include rented films, documentaries from libraries, as well as local theatres or film study groups. Any information you would like to share would be most welcome.

Anyone interested can contact me at

Thanks for sharing your love of movies!

The Empress was open in the early 1930’s so this is an old theatre. It is currently owned by Mr. Marius Paquet. Original seating was listed as 386 later to the 286 in the header after a remodel in 1955.
