Comox Valley residents are in for a unique cinematic experience this summer, as Fresh Air Cinema and BC Hydro Power Smart team up to bring a free outdoor movie screening to Marina Park on July 24th. This event is more than just a movie night; it's a celebration of clean energy and community engagement, offering a glimpse into the future of sustainable entertainment.
A Clean Energy Revolution in Outdoor Cinema
Outdoor movies have traditionally relied on gas-powered generators, creating noise, fumes, and emissions. However, this event takes a bold step towards a greener future by eliminating these traditional power sources. Instead, it showcases innovative clean-energy solutions, delivering electricity for a quieter, more environmentally friendly experience.
Jason Bashnick, Managing Director of Fresh Air Cinema, emphasizes the event's focus on community: "Outdoor movies have always been about bringing people together. Combining this with clean energy solutions creates an event that's fun for families and demonstrates the future of community gatherings."
A Partnership for a Greener Tomorrow
The partnership with BC Hydro highlights the potential of clean energy in everyday activities. Brandon Young, Director for Power Smart at BC Hydro, shares the excitement: "We're thrilled to showcase how clean energy can support community events. It's about showing what's possible and building awareness of our work beyond electricity supply."
A Family-Friendly Evening Under the Stars
The event prioritizes family fun, encouraging guests to bring lawn chairs or blankets and enjoy the movie under the stars. Doors open at 7 p.m., with the movie starting around sunset at 9:15 p.m. Free admission, concessions, and giveaways add to the excitement.
Bashnick expresses enthusiasm: "We're thrilled to welcome everyone to this special event. Shared experiences like these are the essence of outdoor movies."
