Mark your calendars: Cineplex Community Day returns on Saturday, September 14! The 12th annual charitable event is back with Cineplex, The Rec Room, and Playdium offering a morning of free movies and gaming with discounted concessions. New this year, XSCAPE arcade gaming, located within select theatres, will be free for guests to enjoy before their movie. Cineplex is once again donating funds raised from the day to BGC Canada (formerly Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada), to support the organization’s vital programs and services that empower Canada’s next generation.
“Last year’s Cineplex Community Day was an incredible success, and we are thrilled to carry on the tradition of offering movies and play that create memories and special moments for our guests and their families and friends nationwide,” said Ellis Jacob, President and CEO, Cineplex. “As the country’s top entertainment destination, we are proud the money raised makes a tangible difference in the lives of our nation’s youth and a true impact on communities across Canada.”
The Cause
BGC Canada, the country’s largest dedicated child and youth-serving organization, has been providing vital programs and services for 125 years. Their support creates opportunities and new experiences for young people to build positive relationships, overcome barriers, and develop confidence and life skills. Over the past several years, Cineplex has raised over $535,000 for BGC Canada’s 600+ Clubs nationwide giving youth access to critical programs like Skilled 4 Success, Creating Connections and Learn On. Cineplex Community Day brings together communities across the country for a day of accessible fun in support of an important cause.
Cineplex Theatres & XSCAPE
Participating Cineplex theatres across the country will offer a morning of free movies (9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.) with select concessions available at the discounted price of $3.00 each in the morning. Thirty-minute non-redemption XSCAPE Play Cards will also be available at participating theatres for guests to enjoy before their movie (9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.).
