The Beltrano Theatre Provides Meaningful Experience for Clients

Tony Beltrano has been visiting his brother at CAMH for 22 years. Over that time, he has noticed there were few places that clients could spend time together comfortably. True to his generous spirit, Tony had a vision to build a theatre at CAMH.

Sure enough, Tony opened the Beltrano Theatre in September 2009 inside the Queen Street site library. The new theatre lets clients watch movies and play Nintendo Wii.
