Several downtown streets will be closed during Ottawa Race Weekend.
Race events are scheduled for Saturday afternoon and evening and all morning and early afternoon on Sunday. Each race begins at the corner of Elgin Street and Laurier Avenue, outside city hall, and ends at the Cartier Square Drill Hall on Queen Elizabeth Drive.
Queen Elizabeth Drive between Laurier Avenue and Somerset Street will be closed until 6 p.m. on Sunday.
The Elgin Street-Golden Triangle area will also face a number of closures throughout the weekend.
Access to the National Arts Centre will also be affected. The NAC advises patrons to allow themselves time to get to the centre and find a parking space.
