Kamloops council gives preliminary thumbs up to tax exemption for Paramount Theatre
KAMLOOPS — A year after a big disappointment at the Kamloops council table, the sequel has gone much better for the Kamloops Film Society (KFS).
Council gave the society’s application for a permissive tax exemption for the Paramount Theatre initial approval Tuesday (Sept. 29).
In 2019, the KFS application was not approved after it missed the application deadline. KFS said it couldn’t hit the deadline because of how quickly it came after the Kelson Group purchased the theatre in order that it could be operated by the non-profit society.
