Teck manager of Social Responsibility, Rory O’Connor, at the Roxy Theatre on July 20 for the company’s donation to support the restoration of the historic theatre.
Teck Resources Limited (Teck) announced on July 20 a $250,000 donation to support the restoration of the historic Roxy Theatre in Coleman, Alberta. Teck said the donation is to help make it a vibrant, multi-use community performing arts space once again. Teck’s donation will help support renovations of the 275-seat theatre, that last operated in 2003. Once the restoration project is complete, the Roxy Theatre will host live performances including plays and music, show movies and be a space for cultural events to ben-
efit the local economy and community. “Teck is committed to making a positive difference in the communities where we operate and knows the value of the performing arts like the Roxy Theatre in building lively communities where we live, work and play,” said Robin Sheremeta, the Senior Vice President of Coal at Teck, “The revitalization of the Roxy Theatre will expand cultural experiences and amenities for residents and visitors to Coleman and Crowsnest Pass, home to nearly 500 Teck employees.”
