Theatre roof putting construction on hold

Mar 21, 2017 | 12:00 PM

The sky is the limit for the theatre under renovation in North Battleford but, right now it is the roof that is holding it down.

Since the theatre was shut down over three weeks ago, a lot of demolition has happened but there hasn’t been much construction.

Construction was supposed to start two weeks ago but there has been a delay due to roof renovations. According to John Hutchinson, who is in charge of renovations, the roof has to be done before construction of the new concession stand can move forward. Roofers are supposed to arrive this week and get the job done so the theatre can start taking form next week.

There is still no date set for when the theatre will be open to the public.
