Work underway in Alberta town to restore one of last remaining Quonset-style theatres

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.

The Act III Together We Can Do It fundraiser for the Crowsnest Cultural and Recreation Society (Cando for short) is experiencing a series of successes in fundraising that started with a donation and early recognition from the Blairmore Lions Club. Scene Two of Act III is underway! This is an opportunity for families in the Crowsnest Pass and elsewhere to recognize passed loved ones and honor current family members through a Roxy Chair recognition campaign. The Four Seat recognition categories are priced at $500, $1000, $1500, and $2000 depending on location in the Roxy Theatre. Your name or in memoriam names will be etched on a Wall of Fame located in the Roxy Lounge area. All funds donated to the seat recognition campaign will receive a tax receipt. Funds will be used for chair, theatre and foyer atmosphere enhancements.

Seat recognition donors will be placed on an early notification list for most events which will allow for the opportunity to purchase event tickets in advance of notification to the general public.
Construction activities began in May of 2023 and the completion of the process will depend on ongoing donations from the public, Corporations and Federal and Provincial grants that recognize the Historical designation of the Roxy.
This is a great opportunity to be recognized for contributing to a much-needed facility. Here is everyone’s chance to build something new and vibrant. The Roxy Performing Arts Centre will be a going concern. Become part of a Crowsnest Pass and this historic opportunity by etching your name in the Roxy and gaining recognition that will last!
