Originally one of Canada's oldest solo screens,
the Valley had gone dark when it's lease was
not renewed. In an interesting turn of events,
it was the local Lions Club that came to the
rescue, and succeeded in obtaining a new
lease on life for the venerable Drive-in. Since
their re-lighting of the Valley, the Lions definitely
roar .. with continuing support from appreciative
and supportive audiences. The Valley is open on
weekends, seasonally, from mid-May thru the end
of September. The screen is lit with double features.
Admission:   $15 per carload (covers all passengers).

Meanwhile, an initial loan which the Lions bravely
took-on to finance relighting what had become the
Valley of shadows, has been repaid with proceeds
from their very 1st season ..   with money to spare,
which was donated to local schools.   In what it is
to be hoped may serve as a practical model for the
preservation of other Drive-ins gone dark, the Lions'
pride continues to dedicate profits from operating
the revived Valley Drive-in to benefit the community.

The Midway opened in 1955 in the midst of
Canada's Drive-in boom, with a capacity for
nearly 800 cars. Its solo screen remained
lit for 3 decades, before going dark in '86.

Formerly located adjacent to Sackville Downs,
the Drive-in was torn-down and is presently
the site of the SuperStore Mall. And, the old
racetrack across the way met a similar fate,
becoming the site of yet another Wal-Mart.

Solo screen venue with a capacity for
up to 300 cars; open seasonally - May
thru October. Movie audio provided with
local AM & FM radio broadcast. An all-nite
Dusk-to-Dawn special screening event is
hosted here each year - the 2nd weekend
in October (coinciding with Thanksgiving).
