Drive In Downpour Downer

The Jim Ciccone Civic Centre remained empty Tuesday night
as the nasty weather meant not Drive In Movie experience

The pandemic didn't win, but in the end, a more familiar nemesis, the weather proved to be too much for some good intentions on the North Coast.

The plans by CityWest and the City of Prince Rupert to host a Drive In Movie experience found one element that over ruled their Tuesday evening plans ... the Weather.

The highly anticipated event was scuppered last night as high winds meant that those of the 50 car full of would be movie goers who had qualified by draw and arrived at the Civic Centre last evening were sent home, the event cancelled owing to the untimely burst of nasty weather for the North Coast.

CityWest shared the news through their Social media feed shortly before the scheduled showtime planned for 9:30 on Tuesday evening.

As we noted in late July, the Drive In movie plan, had offered up a bit of community bonding in a socially distant atmosphere was planning to showcase the movie ONWARD.

While there are no promises, CityWest hopes to revisit the Drive In plans, though as they note on Social Media, perhaps not in what has been a rather cursed year of 2020. 

Judging by the comments left so far to the cancellation notice on the CityWest Facebook book page, that would be a well received initiative, should they follow up on it!
