©COPYRIGHT 2021 - NELSON CIVIC THEATRE SOCIETY
It's been a strange year, to say the least, and we're all still grappling with the social and economic impacts and challenges that have taken this year by storm. Thank you for helping us keep our doors open, allowing us to keep bringing entertainment into our community and our staff employed.
We are taking regional, provincial, and federal government health orders seriously. Our theatre is still screening films at a reduced 50-person capacity, but this measure has deeply impacted our financial stability this year. We are so grateful for your generosity, as we need your support more than ever.
Help us achieve 25% of this goal today - $5,000 on Giving Tuesday. Making a generous gift to The Civic today ensures a great 2021 full of film screenings, drive-in movies, artist residencies, free community events, economic development for the local film sector, and more.

The last two years have been hard for us all in different ways. Theatres like The Civic have been deeply impacted by more than 20 months of mandated closures and severe capacity restrictions. Ticket and concession sales typically make up more than 60% of our budget, with the remaining program and service funding coming from government, foundation and corporate supporters, and individuals who are passionate about film and supportive of our goal to provide experiences that are transformative and inspiring for audiences of all ages.
This year, we need your help to recuperate, grow back our capacity, and build back our operations. Like all businesses in our province, we are still navigating Covid-19 health mandates, but unlike most other business sectors in BC, theatres have weathered hefty damage to our reputations as safe spaces, as we were forced to be closed while nearly everyone else was open, making us look more dangerous, which we know was never true. Accordingly, we are still encouraging our audiences to come back, to trust our space and professional staff, and to revive the magic of seeing a film on the big screen. We know it will take a while to return to normal.
