There are 2 only places that I know of that Fido will not work and that is,
inside the Oakridge theatre and the new Silver City (Famous Players) 12
theatres complex down at Steveston in Richmond..  

Besides, you're not supposed to use a cell phone inside the theatre
anyhow, so this is not a big deal..
