TORONTO, Feb. 16, 2021 /CNW/ - (TSX: CGX) – Dartmouth's ultimate place to play is now
open! Located at Dartmouth Crossing, Atlantic Canada's first Playdium location
offers 30,000 square feet of pure fun for people of all ages to
play and connect. Whether competing to win some great swag,
enjoying a fresh and delicious meal, or simply spending time with
friends, Playdium is a community-based space to engage and have
fun!
Owned and operated by Cineplex, the new Playdium location puts
the health and safety of its employees and guests first by
implementing extensive training as well as industry leading
operational protocols throughout the venue. Following all federal,
provincial and municipal health and safety guidelines, the venue
will open with reduced capacity to ensure proper physical

include continual cleaning and sanitization, signage to guide the
flow of foot traffic and a games-floor configured to ensure proper
physical distancing between games.

games, bowling, and virtual reality. The other third is dedicated
to dining, offering a range of on-the-go bites and handcrafted
dishes the whole family will love. In addition to the number of
