The National Capital Commission (NCC) says the hours for Weekend Bikedays on the Queen Elizabeth Driveway are being extended every Saturday until the end of August for “Kultur on the Kanal.”

The weekly event is hosted by the embassies of Germany, Austria and Switzerland to promote German language and culture along the backdrop of the Rideau Canal.

“Join us on select Saturdays this summer for a special open-air screenings of iconic films, a silent disco and a karaoke night,” the German Embassy says on its website.

This Saturday, Kultur on the Kanal features an outdoor screening of the film “Good Bye Lenin!” at the corner of Queen Elizabeth Driveway and Waverley Street. The movie begins at 7 p.m.

The NCC says the Queen Elizabeth Driveway will be reserved for active transportation between Fifth Avenue and Somerset Street from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. every Saturday from July 12 to Aug. 30. Drivers are asked to take an alternate route.
