Join us in the local history room bi-monthly for a history-related activity.
Come enjoy a slideshow on the history of movie-going in Saskatoon. Revisit the movie theatres and drive-ins of Saskatoon’s past through photographs from the Local History Room. Photographic memories of theatres such as the Capitol, Daylight, Tivoli and Victoria remind us of an era that has almost completely vanished. Although sadly most of Saskatoon’s early theatres have disappeared, this photographic exhibition reminds us of a time when going to the movies was a special experience.
