Council reassures community Capitol Theatre was offered fair deal
The city is getting a new theatre, but the project’s announcement hasn’t entirely been welcomed around town.
North Battleford city council has received complaints claiming it’s driving Capitol Theatre out of town by signing a new agreement with Magic Lantern Theatres.
“Last week there were some pretty libelous claims being made about the mayor and council. Those posts have since been removed and we just want to clear the air,” Coun. Ryan Bater said.
According to Mayor Ian Hamilton, the city had been trying to offer the project to Capitol Theatre for years.
