COVID-19 UPDATE
New restrictions have been introduced for the Interior as a result of rising cases. The vaccine passport will also be introduced starting September 13, and movie theatres are on the list of non-essential events where proof of vaccination must be shown. Once we have more information on how that will work, we will let you know.
The up side: We get to continue playing movies for you!!
Our top priority is keeping our patrons, staff and volunteers safe, so we have updated our COVID-19 Safety Plan and have implemented the following restrictions (due to change with updates from Interior Health):
1) Masks will be mandatory inside the theatre at all times, unless you are eating and drinking in your seat. Staff and volunteers have continued to wear masks since reopening, and will continue to do so. Staff and volunteers will wear masks at the drive in, and we ask that if you are out of your vehicle and interacting with us, to please wear a mask.
2) Each screening will have a limit of 50 patrons (or 50 cars at the drive in). Buying online ahead of time is strongly recommended.
3) Our COVID-19 Safety Plan is available onsite, both at the Paramount and at the Drive in.
For further information on our restrictions, please check out our website HERE
Thank you all for your understanding during this time. If any restrictions change further, we will let you know as soon as we can.
If you do not agree with these new restrictions and no longer wish to visit the Paramount at this time but have bought tickets for upcoming shows, please email us for a refund.
