As the snow begins to melt, there's still uncertainty whether Enderby's famous Starlight Drive-In Movie Theatre will open for the season.
The Starlight team has been updating the public through its social media and website.
They are still unsure if they will open, according to a website statement published April 2.
"We are currently checking with our returning staff and adjusting our field layout to limit our capacity to 50 per cent, along with an online ticketing solution and all other necessary safe guards and procedures to ensure social distancing," according to a statement posted on the website.
"We continue to do our research and monitor the situation daily and will provide further updates as they are available."
Nighttime temperatures are also still below 0 C, according to the statement.

With a 6,000-square feet screen, the drive-in theatre is the biggest in North America. It's only one of three in B.C.
The theatre typically opens for the season in May.
