The Municipality of the County of Cumberland is hosting a free movie screening on March 20, 2026, to provide families in Amherst, Nova Scotia, with a budget-friendly activity during the school holidays. The event aims to give local caregivers an indoor option for children on the final Friday of March Break.
The Disney movie “Lilo & Stitch” will be shown at 1:00 p.m. in the CIBC Common Room at the Dr. Carson & Marion Murray Community Centre. The facility is located in Springhill, which is roughly a 20-minute drive for residents travelling from the Amherst area.
This community gathering is part of a series of municipal initiatives designed to make recreation more accessible. Along with the movie, the local government offers other services like free activity camps for children aged 5 to 12 in five different communities throughout the region during peak times.
The host venue is a well-known hub for the county and is noted for its sustainable design. It uses geothermal energy pulled from old coal mines to heat the building, making it a unique setting for community events like this free screening.
