The Weyburn Theatre Community Service Co-operative announced a partnership with DSI Contracting to design and build the Credit Union Spark Cinema.

WEYBURN – The Weyburn Theatre Community Service Co-operative announced a partnership with DSI Contracting to design and build the Credit Union Spark Cinema.

“We have received great support from the community. That support has helped take this project into its next phase of development,” said Ryan Janke, president of the Weyburn Theatre Co-operative.

In September, the co-operative solicited for Expression of Interests for a construction partner. Interested parties were asked to submit proposals including references and previous project experience. Interviews were held and it was determined that DSI Contracting was an excellent fit to partner with to take this project to the next level. DSI contracting brings a passion for the project.

Justin Iverson, President of DSI Contracting, said about the project, “We are so excited to begin the next step of the design phase for the new theatre. This project represents the culmination of a dedicated group of people’s hard work, creativity and passion for the community, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with them to bring their vision to life. It is incredible to see the support from businesses and individuals in Weyburn over the past few months, and the excitement is only growing as things progress. We are looking forward to being a part of that process.”

President Ryan Janke had this to add: “We are thrilled to partner with DSI Contracting for the next phase of this project! DSI has been helping to build the community of Weyburn for generations. The passion, vision, and values match our own, as well as those of our sponsors and supporters. We are all very excited to move this project forward with their experience and expertise.”

The initial phase of the construction process is to complete a full design in the upcoming months. If fundraising efforts continue to progress, the group is targeting construction to begin in late spring or early summer of 2024.
