Skyway Drive-In 1956 RR 20 E, Fonthill, ON L0S 1E0
Located in Fonthill, ON, ten minutes from Niagara Falls, ON.

After being denied permission to build a drive-in theatre in Montreal after construction started in 1946, Michel Zahorchak (who later founded Canadian Theatres) packed up and moved to the St. Catharines area and opened the Canadian Drive-In on July 17, 1947. It was closed on October 7, 1982.

It reopened on October 8, 1982 as the 4 Can-View Drive-In, which is largest drive-in in Ontario and now has four screens and holds 2,015 cars.

Later taken over by Odeon Theatres (Canada) Ltd. In 2023 it was taken over by the Premier Drive-In Theatres Operating Corporation and renamed Skyway Drive-In.
