OUR STORY
The historic Soo Theatre has been a fixture in downtown Weyburn since the 1950s. Over the seven decades of its existence, it served as a gathering point for the community with many fond memories made. Unfortunately, the theatre fell into disrepair and the previous operator made the difficult decision to permanently close the Soo in 2017. Since its closure, a topic that consistently comes up amongst city officials, residents, and Weyburn Youth Council, is the lack of a movie theatre in our amazing city.
We are here to change that!
Weyburn Theatre Community Service Cooperative is a non-profit organization, formed with the exclusive goal of bringing the movies back to the city of Weyburn. Spearheaded by a group of community-minded individuals and supported by Cooperatives First and third-party consultants, a feasibility study has been completed and plans are in place for a modern, two-screen theatre in downtown Weyburn.
This theatre will be owned by the community and with support, we can't wait to go to the movies with you again!
