A source with the Merritt Community Cinema Society says that there is a similar organization in Nelson organizing at this time to have a community theater society for first run movies and live theater. However the source says that they have also gained charitable status as well. The local effort remains a non-profit but imply that Charitable status is desirable.
The difference between the two organizations is tax receipts for donations, as a non-profit, the tax advantage is limited to business donations that can use it as an expense for promotion of their business.
The project is aimed at being a stable source of funding for the local arts council and is touted at a price tag of 5 million dollars. The project has raised enough money to acquire land and has not yet gotten a design in place.

We strive to be accurate.When we say sources say that means an unconfirmed source. Confirmed source is one confirmed by someone in authority eg: an official. When we name the source eg agent of the govt that means it is on their credibility. All reporting is factual. Editorial bias is small c conservative.
