PARAMOUNT THEATRE WILL REMAIN OPEN
Kelson Group leasing it to film society, which has plans to create an arts hub in building MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Paramount Theatre won’t be closing, after all. The Kamloops Film Society will soon be taking over operations thanks to the help of a local property-management firm. While Landmark Cinemas ceased operations in the theatre on April 17, the company has sold the building at Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue downtown to Kelson Group, which has handed the keys to the film society. The theatre will be leased at below market rates to the non-profit society, which also has an option to buy the building from Kelson Group at the original price Kelson paid — about $950,000. There is also an option to renew the five-year lease for five more years. On Thursday afternoon, film society chair Tom Friedman revealed the arrangement to keep the Paramount open to cheers from a crowd gathered in the building’s entrance for the announcement.

“We are really delighted to be working with such strong advocates for our community,” Friedman said. The society will continue to run its annual film festival and film series in the Paramount and will also be looking to create a cultural hub in the space with film, music, comedy, theatre and other art forms. Friedman believes there will be more opportunities to offer first-run movies with Landmark leaving the market. The Kamloops Film Society will assume operations costs, with an annual donation from Kelson Group owners Ron and Rae Fawcett to help with that bill. Friedman said the annual donation will cover rent, so the film society will need only to focus on expenses such as utilities, insurance and staffing. Fawcett said the idea to purchase the Paramount has been in the works for a year and he did so because he felt if it closed, it would never re-open. See FILM SOCIETY, A20
