Calgary is sadly not home to a permanent drive-in movie theatre, but, lucky for us, lots of local venues work hard to bring this tradition to YYC.
Canyon Meadows Cinemas is the latest spot to announce a drive-in movie experience, with their first screening coming up next month.
Under the Government of Alberta’s current public health restrictions, Canyon Meadows Cinemas isn’t able to open their theatres for regular movie viewing, so they’ve gotten creative and have planned to set up drive-in shows in their parking lot.
