Starting on Saturday May 14 the NCC Weekend Bike Days are back! The NCC will open up both westbound lanes of the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway for active use, morning and afternoon, located on the south side of the Ottawa River just west of the downtown core, from Vimy Place to Carling Avenue.
- Length: 9 kilometres
- Hours: 8 am to 4 pm
This is a great way to experience the beauty of Canada’s Capital Region in a fun, safe and environmentally friendly way. Since 1970, the NCC has hosted Sunday Bikedays, allowing cyclists to experience the Capital’s scenic parkways car-free. Today, the program provides about 20 kilometres of parkways to hundreds of thousands of visitors, who enjoy seeing the Capital Region from a different perspective and in a fun and environmentally friendly way. The program has been replicated in many other cities around the globe.
