LEGO enthusiasts celebrate interesting architecture by building replicas of Canada’s national museums in the National Capital Region or Ottawa-Gatineau.
The region has an active and longstanding LEGO community but this seems to be the beginning of a trend.
For the Museum of History in Gatineau, Indigenous Architect Douglas Cardinal shared his own plans with the LEGO builder.
Another pair of builders created a 3D video to inform their construction of a model of the Victorian-era Museum of Nature (which had a rumoured haunted 4th floor).

Another gray day with more rain on the way. (How poetic).
Bonne soirée les amis.
It is above freezing with rain now. The ice that built up on the tree branches is coming down and clattering on the hard ice covered snow.

The city of Ottawa needs to cut a lot of salt out of its snow clearance diet.
Dans la pluie verglaçante ce matin. Soyez prudents et bon dimanche.
