Introducing our latest online adventure- Lego Challenge: Built Heritage Edition!

We LOVE to build with Lego and now YOU can build along with us at home! Each week, Adrian will challenge you to build a different historic structure in St. Catharines using Lego and the photos we post as a template.

Follow along with Adrian’s daily updates and post your progress with #stcmlegochallenge! We can’t wait to see your Lego creations!

Your first challenge: Can you build the old Public Weigh Scales at St. Catharines Markets Square out of Lego?
