As movie theatres in Alberta remain closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the town of Cochrane is inviting its residents and those from neighbouring Calgary to enjoy an evening of free, family fun at a drive-in movie night.
Organizer of the event, Dan Kroffat, said the spectacle is set for June 6 and will accommodate up to 300 vehicles. “Really our goal is to lift the spirits of our community,” Kroffat said in an interview with 770 CHQR. “We’ve all been bogged down in this thing for months and we’re looking forward to moving forward, and a drive-in theatre just might do that.” Kroffat said the event has been approved by Alberta Health Services but will have some limitations, including no washrooms or food vendors.
