If you’re looking for something to bring the kids to this weekend, how about a free flick on the big screen? The Cineplex Community Day is once again offering free movies at Cineplex theatres across the country, including here in our region. Back for its 14th year, screenings of children’s movies will play Saturday morning at both Barrie theatres: Cineplex Cinemas North Barrie and Galaxy Cinemas Barrie in the south end. They’ll also play at the Cineplexes in Orillia and Collingwood. Families will have the choice between Tom & Jerry at 10 a.m., Paddington 2 at 10:15 a.m., The Lego Movie at 10:30 a.m. and A Minecraft Movie at 10:45 a.m. Guests can enjoy reduced costs at the concession with $3 regular popcorn, regular drink and select candy until 11 a.m. While you’re waiting for your movie to start, you can take advantage of the free 30-minute non-redemption playcards or tokens at XSCAPE. If you’re wanting to keep the fun going, The Rec Room is offering free non-redemption one-hour game bands between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m., plus $3 select snacks until 12 p.m. The event supports BGC Canada, an organization that helps children and youth in more than 665 communities. A dollar from every purchase throughout the day will go towards the cause.
