Kingston Midstream Invests in Weyburn’s Future with Major Donation to Theatre Project

August 17, 2025

The future of film in Weyburn is looking brighter thanks to Kingston Midstream, who generously donated $50,000 to the fundraising campaign for the city’s new movie theatre.

This donation adds to recent support from community leaders like the Weyburn Young Fellows and brings the current fundraising total to $1.7 million.

Dena Bachorcik, Public Awareness & Community Investment Coordinator for Kingston Midstream, had this to say:

At Kingston Midstream we are committed to building and maintaining strong relationships in the communities in which we live and operate. We believe in supporting local non-profit organizations, charities and community initiatives through our Community Investment efforts, particularly with the generous support from our parent company, James Richardson & Sons, Ltd.

The Richardson Foundation funding guidelines focus on helping create sustainable futures for Canadian charitable organizations in the Visual and Performing Arts, Education, Youth Initiatives and Environmental Issues.

We believe that having a theatre in Weyburn again will be an asset to the community and surrounding area as an important visual and performing arts project to support.  Promoting the arts, enhancing quality of life, creating opportunities for social connection and increasing economic activity in the community.

For information regarding funding, requests and applications please visit the Community Investment page on our website kingstonmidstream.com or reach out to me at 306-636-7242 or by email dena.bachorcik@kingstonmidstream.com.

The project organizers hope the community will follow suit.

“Every dollar counts, and every gift takes us one step closer to bringing movies back to Weyburn,” said Treasurer of the Board, Sean Purdue.  “We can’t do this without supporters like Kingston Midstream and we are honoured they chose to donate to such an important project for this community.”
