The plan was to unveil our dazzling new seats to everyone when we re-opened on Friday, September 27^th, but we have experienced a major setback. The wrong seats were sent to us.

We will try our best to continue to stay open and bring you movies and entertainment as we wait for our new seats to arrive in December. During this time, our seating will be limited and they will not be theatre seats. However, we will have a variety of very comfy seating to offer you! Please note: we will only have a 60 seat capacity for each theatre, so please arrive early for your choice of seats. We ask for your patience as we try our best to keep Star Cinema going during this time. Once again, we also need to extend a big thank you to our community and donors who have supported us throughout the year.

PLEASE NOTE: Starting November 8th Limited seating continues...Comfy couches will be here until Dec 11th when our new seats will be installed!

There have been many big donors…Thank you to Ernie Skinner, who, along with his daughter Christine Hein and her husband Darryl Hein (of Market on Yates and Market on Millstream,) donated $10,000. Joyce Mitchell has donated in many ways and added $5,000! Just before Christmas, the $10,000 donation from North Saanich Councilor, Craig Mearns, was matched from an anonymous donor! Early in the campaign a young man named Sebastian really helped to kick off our optimism by raising over $22,000 singlehandedly from people in Calgary and in Deep Cove. Even the lovely little store Deep Cove Market raised a further $800 with a simple donation jar in our name! Our heartfelt thanks to every donor for their amazing support.
