December 20, 2020 - 9:00 PM A piece of Vernon history is about to undergo a transition but the people taking on that change are turning to the community to help make it happen. The Okanagan Screen Arts Society has hopes to take over the Towne Cinema, which has been operating on Main Street in Vernon since 1929. Originally a dance hall, it converted to a Motion Picture Cinema in 1938. Now it s about to change again. “We are now facing the prospect of losing this historic venue and an important economic anchor for the downtown core,” Christopher John wrote in a GoFundMe on behalf of the society.
