The Vallee Drive-In was in operation since 1955 and was one of the few remaining drive-ins left in Canada. The Valley Drive-In was proudly owned and operated by the Creston Valley Youth for Youth Society.
It is a business/education venture with it’s goals being self sufficiency and youth job creation. It was closed in 2002. The screen tower and other buildings still stand in 2013.

According to drive-ins.com this closed in 2002.
I have it parking 199 cars and being owned by T.and Bert TEDFORD and L.Johnson.
Now a house on site(snack bar?).
Approximate address is 410 33rd Avenue South, Creston.
There’s also some photos here: https://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WMKCM0_Valley_Drive_In_Creston_British_Columbia
Still standing intact in modern times and zero photos posted? Sad!
From the Google Maps overhead, the screen appears to be intact, but the concession stand/projector booth may not be in the same shape.
Even the ramps have faded considerably. The addition of houses has made finding the entrance road difficult as well.
I’m surprised it closed in 2002 since from what we see on the Google Maps overhead, it appears to have been closed a decade or two earlier than that given the trees and weathering.
Original name was apparently spelt “Vallee”.
An October 2023 Google Street View shows the screen and projection booth/concession stand still present, although looking a little worse for wear.
The entrance on the SW corner of the property still seems to have a ticket booth, but it is engulfed in trees.
A closer address is 414 33rd Ave S, Creston, BC V0B 1G1, Canada.
Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the projection booth/concession stand.
The entrance itself off 33rd Ave S is covered in trees which makes access to the property difficult. Unless you want to cut across some housing property.
