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 Elk Drive-In was actually located in Hosmer on Highway 3 near the Elk Valley Provincial Park, it opened in 1955 and closed in 1985.

Hosmer is over 200 miles from Castlegar. I would guess that it is a different Elk Drive-In that was located there.

This one appears to have been on the corner of 5th Ave and 7th St in Castlegar and closed around 1960 according to View link
