I recall your Stepdad Tamsin. We always had to clap politely at the Saturday afternoon matinee instead of screaming wildly as we were accustomed to doing at the Princess and Strand. The Parkwood was also more expensive at 35 cents compared to 25 for the other two.
My stepdad Alex Barclay moved us up to Prince George from Kelowna to open this theatre, a few years later he also opened the Spruceland pretty cool
According to the May 17, 1991 edition of the Prince George Citizen (link below), it was reported that the Parkwood Theatre had closed two days earlier on May 15, as part of the planned expansion of the Parkwood Mall which would necessitate the theatre’s demolition:
