Response to COVID-19

June 15, 2020

Dear Kamloops Film Society patrons, volunteers and partners:

Due to the global COVID-19 (“coronavirus”) pandemic and the order sent out today by the BC Provincial Health Officer, a pertinent portion of which we have included below, the Kamloops Film Society and the Paramount Theatre will be closed for public events until circumstances improve.

“You are prohibited from permitting the gathering of people in
excess of 50 people at a place of which you are the owner, occupier
or operator, or for which you are otherwise responsible.

During this time, all volunteer shifts will be cancelled and we will be having staff conduct cleaning, maintenance, marketing, stocking, operations and other activities so as to cover the hours they would have otherwise worked. As the situation continues to evolve, we may be changing our approach, but we will continue to do our best to take care of all Kamloops Film Society employees during this difficult time.

Sincerely,

Dušan Magdolen
Executive Director
The KFS at The Paramount Theatre
