How long has the ByTowne been around?
The ByTowne's a spin-off of the old Towne Cinema that lived on Beechwood Avenue in New Edinburgh. We've been at our 325 Rideau St. location since 1988. The cinema itself was built in 1947 and was called the Nelson Theatre. We're working on a page about the ByTowne's history which should be up and running soon.


Our web site is very useful, but the hard copy of the ByTowne guide still has its merits. People rely on it and love it. Get your copy today at many local stores, coffee shops and info centres around town!
