Speaking of movies Toronto has a free drive in program this summer (DriveIn TO). It's a great idea, but it's a lot of niche movies so not real popcorn -- (edited)

stuff.
Different events are programmed by different agencies. There's TIFF movies, an international series, Doc series, etc. I am going next Tuesday to a movie called "Kayak to Klemtu."
Hey, it is a free movie, from my car, close to my house.
------------------------------------
Kayak to Klemtu - On Tuesday, August 18, at 8:45 pm, imagineNATIVE will be screening Zoe Hopkins' family adventure KAYAK TO KLEMTU. Winner of the iN 2017 Air Canada Audience Choice Award, this film speaks to our hearts and minds through the eyes of our youth about the importance of protecting our land.
Driven by her determination, 14-year-old Ella (Ta'Kaiya Blaney) embarks on a kayak journey through the Inside Passage of the Great Bear Rainforest upon learning of a proposed pipeline through her home community.
Honouring the activist spirit of her late uncle Dave, and joined by her aunt, cousin, and prickly Uncle Don (Lorne Cardinal), Ella navigates the many challenges that come her way with grit and perseverance. As they race against the clock, this motley crew must paddle to make the community gathering in time for Ella to deliver the speech of her life, altering the course of her community’s destiny for generations to come.
KAYAK TO KLEMTU is sure to delight audiences and inspire the spirit of activism for all.
Zoe Hopkins (Mohawk/Heiltsuk) was born in Bella Bella, a Heiltsuk fishing village on the coast of B.C. and is now based in Six Nations, ON. Zoe is an alumna of the Sundance Institute's Feature Film Program and imagineNATIVE's Embargo Collectives. She is currently completing her second feature film.
