WEYBURN – The Weyburn Theatre Community Service Cooperative seeks an expression of interest for a construction partner for the new movie theatre.

Weyburn Theatre Community Service Cooperative is preparing for the next major phase of their project. The Cooperative is beginning the formal search for a construction partner who will help make this project a reality. With progress being made toward their fundraising goal, WTCSC has made the decision to move forward, seeking expressions of interest from qualified parties.

“We still have a lot of work to do in terms of our fundraising efforts but in anticipation that we will meet our goal, we want to hit the ground running in 2024,” said WTCSC board member, Sean Purdue. “One thing we have learned with this project is the importance of planning ahead. A lot of behind-the-scenes work has to be done before shovels can hit the ground, so we want to select a construction partner as early as possible so we are prepared and ready.”

The deadline for submissions is Friday, Sept. 22, 2023 and interested parties can request an information package by emailing [email protected].

The 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.

Led by a group of volunteer board members, WTCSC has engaged industry experts to plan and design a state-of-the-art two-screen cinema. Once fundraising goals have been met, construction will begin on the site of the former Soo Theatre.
