Metro Theatre is a non-profit Society: Volunteers are our strength Celebrating 61 years of entertainment Metro Theatre’s MISSION STATEMENT – to provide high-quality entertainment for the public; to provide opportunities for “training and experience” in theatre arts. It is important to note that Metro Theatre is a registered non-profit society, and primarily a volunteer organization. The organization receives no significant grants or funding. We depend almost entirely on revenue from ticket sales to cover the substantial costs of mounting our six-production season each year. We could not do this without the contributions of the many volunteers who donate their time and talent onstage, backstage and in the front-of-house. There are plenty of opportunities to explore your area of interest throughout the season. Our one requirement – you, the volunteer should be available for the show’s production run. Working backstage is an exciting way to discover the inner workings of our theatre company. It is an excellent way to make new friends and be part of a theatre team. No experience – no problem – training provided.

Crime Stoppers is a non-profit society and registered charity that receives anonymous tip information about criminal activity and provides it to investigators in communities. Tip information is provided to a wide variety of provincial, federal and international investigative agencies.   Members of the public may witness all or part of a crime without being aware of the importance or value of what they have seen. As a result, they may unknowingly possess key information that could assist police in solving the crime or taking a criminal off the street.   Crime Stoppers can be extremely beneficial as we are the middle relationship to ensure anonymity while at the same time passing tip information forward. Our program provides an effective opportunity for anyone to help law enforcement solve crime without worry of reprisal. Crime Stoppers serves as a chance for anyone to relay criminal information to police and absolutely remain anonymous.
