Built between 1911 and 1912, the Roncesvalles theatre is far from just a beloved local site — it's also a designated heritage site, holding within its walls over a century of history, from hosting screenings to raise funds for the war effort in 1914 to being on the cutting edge of the city's art-house cinema scene in the 70s.

Ever since, the Revue Film Society has operated as a non-profit, the building's sole tenant for nearly twenty years. At the time of publication, the petition, which is directed at Ward 4 City Counsellor Gord Perks, MPP Bhutila Karpoche, Mayor Olivia Chow, MP Arif Virani, has received just under 4,000 signatures of their 5,000 signature goal.
