THANK YOU TO THE BLAIRMORE lions
At our BLAIRMORE lions meeting we presented Tim Juhlin from the Roxy Theatre with a check for $10,000. This is the second instalment of our $30,000 donation. The last instalment will be next year. We hope this helps in making the Roxy a reality.
LOOK WHATS FOUND ITS WAY BACK HOME

The Roxy Theatre was built in 1948 following the devastating fire that consumed Coleman’s Palace Theatre. Despite facing another fire setback in 1950 (pictured here), it remained a cherished cultural cornerstone, providing recreation and entertainment to locals and tourists alike. However, as local industry waned and the community suffered economically, the Roxy Theatre closed its doors in 2003, leaving it empty and facing demolition. Today, the pressing need for a multi-use performance space is evident. The Roxy Theatre, with your help, can reclaim its former glory (with enhanced fire safety measures), as a vibrant community performing arts centre for the Crowsnest Pass! Join us in restoring this iconic landmark and revitalizing our cultural landscape.
