This theatre was built in 1949 and is a little gem. It ran movies until 2009 and it houses a small TV station. It is in the town of Mattawa in Northern Ontario in a town of 2,500 people.
It reopened by 2014 with screenings on weekends.

The Champlain Theatre opened its doors on July 27, 1949 with Fred MacMurray in “Family Honeymoon” (unknown if extras added) featuring RCA projection, and was first operated by Willowdale resident Max Consky. The husband-and-wife team of Roy and Shirley Parizeau operated the Champlain from 1960 until 1987, along with Conrad Belanger and Remi Gravelle who would fill in as spare projectionists.
Remi took over the Champlain as operator in 1971 after Roy fell ill. Four years later, original owner Max Consky died from illness at the age of 54 on February 15, 1975. Remi would later purchase the Champlain on March 11, 1994. It was renovated in 2004 after Tim Smith and Michel Royer purchased the Champlain. Smith and Royer only operated the theater for three years and was then taken over by another husband-and-wife team of Denis and Claudine Janveaux in November 2007.
As of 2026, the Champlain is still open on weekends, and its current function is first-run.
