One of Manitoba’s two remaining drive-in movie theatres is preparing to open for the season on the weekend, as the province enters into phase two of its gradual reopening this week.
Marlene Nelson, owner of the Stardust Drive-In Theatre in Morden, Man., told 680 CJOB there’s no better place than a drive-in for a night out while remaining socially distanced. “You couldn’t look for anything better for social distancing or being safe than being in your own vehicle,” Nelson said. “(The province is) emphasizing there has to be the social distancing, so as a result, we’re keeping our numbers down for admission — for how many we’re allowing into our site to ensure there is some social distancing and to give people that safe zone,” she said.
