Kramer IMAX Theatre: Government of Sask. to pay for remainder of upgrade costs to theatre [Video]

The Kramer IMAX Theatre in Regina hosted a screening of 13 productions filmed in Saskatchewan which are hitting screens soon.

In addition to the screenings, Minister of Parks, Culture and Sport Laura Ross took the opportunity to share that the provincial government will be footing the bill for the remainder of the theatre’s upgrades.

“We wanted to have a partnership with Creative Saskatchewan and the science centre, and that’s what this funding will allow for, Creative Saskatchewan to be able to show films like we’re doing today,” Ross told reporters.

This $500,000 investment will go towards the purchase of a new IMAX GT dual laser digital projection system – allowing to continue operating as “a world class facility.”
