..and now for the moment you've all been waiting for...

If all goes as planned, this will be our season's opening weekend.

First, we want to thank you for your patience. Unfortunately the grounds have been too soggy to welcome vehicles (esp after last week's freak snow storm). No worries though, this gave us some extra time to finish some of the projects we've been working on.

This Friday and Saturday we have The Sheep Detectives followed by Little Lorraine, then on Sunday we reverse the order.

We are hiring!!

Executive/Personal Assistant to the Manager of Operations
Cape Breton Drive‑In (CBDI)
Part‑Time / Seasonal (with room for growth)

The Cape Breton Drive‑In is looking for a diamond in the rough — someone who doesn’t need to be perfect, just capable, curious, reliable, and ready to grow. This role blends administrative support with hands‑on operational work, creative problem‑solving, and community engagement.

We welcome applications from neurodiverse candidates.
We invite you to showcase how your neurodiversity strengthens your organization, creativity, focus, problem‑solving, or workflow. Different brains bring different brilliance.

About the Role
The Executive/Personal Assistant will support the Manager of Operations across a wide range of responsibilities. This is a dynamic position suited to someone who enjoys variety, takes initiative, and can switch between administrative tasks and on‑site operational support.

---

Key Responsibilities
Responsibilities may include (but are not limited to):

- General administrative and organizational support for the Manager of Operations
- Creating and scheduling social media content
- Providing customer experience support
- Communicating with vendors and suppliers
- Recruiting, coordinating, and managing volunteers
- Supporting technology needs (simple web updates; app development experience is an advantage but not a must)
- Communicating with community groups and social organizations
- Coordinating, planning, and scheduling events and special programming
- Assisting with cashier and food handling during busy periods
- Supporting cleaning tasks (bathrooms, kitchen, field)

---

What We’re Looking For
You don’t need to be polished or have a traditional background. We’re looking for someone who brings:

- Strong organization
- Solid problem‑solving skills
- Genuine creativity
- Reliability and follow‑through
- Willingness to learn and adapt
- Respect for boundaries, workflow, and team communication

If you’re someone with potential, curiosity, and a spark of something special — you might be exactly who we’re hoping to find.

🎄✨ That’s a wrap on our 2025 season! ✨🎄

From spooky strolls to surprise screenings, candy chaos to cozy car nights—this year was one for the books. And we couldn’t have done it without YOU.

To close things out, we present:
📸 Our very own "Clark Griswold" mid-light installation, proving that holiday spirit sometimes comes with tangled wires and heroic ladder climbs.
🎅 A few elfish guests in their Christmas best, fresh from a visit to our canteen and clearly full of sugar and joy.

Thank you for the laughs, the love, and the late-night popcorn runs. We’re already dreaming up next season’s magic… but for now, we’re off to defrost and recharge.

Stay warm, stay weird, and keep an eye on this page for off-season surprises 👀💫

With love from your drive-in crew 💛

The results of our poll are in. We think the results are favorable enough to stay open tonight. We are counting on you to brave the rain.

Fun fact: Rain has very little impact on the visibility of our films. You might need a poncho to get back and forth to the canteen to order your snacks but you can still enjoy a cozy night, snuggled up under a blanket in the comfort of your own vehicle with whoever you feel is special enough to share the night with.

See you tonight!!

Ticket booth and canteen open at 730.
Show starts at 8.

Reminder: Screen 2 is still out of service and requires repair.

🦫✨ BeaverTails Are at the Cape Breton Drive-In Tonight! ✨🦫

Get ready to treat your taste buds — the BeaverTails team is joining us tonight at the Cape Breton Drive-In for our Trunk or Treat celebration! They’ll be serving up their famous, deliciously warm pastries that everyone loves, along with handing out some special Halloween goodies throughout the evening. 🎃🍬

Come by their booth, say hi to the BeaverTails crew, and grab one of their iconic tails before the show starts. Don’t miss out on this delicious Halloween visit — it’s going to be a frightfully tasty night at the Cape Breton Drive-In! 👻🦫✨
