What to see at Brick Roundup
A Lego Scotia Place

Scotia Place won’t host a Flames game until next fall. You can see the finished building this weekend anyway, as long as you don’t mind that it’s made of Lego. The model of Calgary’s new arena has a facade lit in red, orange and yellow. The real building is scheduled to open in fall 2027, in time for the Flames’ 2027/28 season.
A million-piece castle

The other big draw is a castle. Several castles, actually. Fifteen builders from across Alberta have spent years on a shared medieval layout that covers 180 square feet, about the floor space of a 12-by-15 bedroom. Organizers put the piece count at roughly one million, with hundreds of minifigures living inside the walls. If you have a kid who needs a job, have them start counting.
Brick Talks and hundreds more builds
Beyond the two headliners, there are hundreds more builds on the floor. Brick Talks sessions run through the weekend, with SALUG members and guests explaining the hobby and how to build better.
Shopping: vendor market and SALUG garage sale
The vendor market sells sets, minifigures and Lego-inspired items. Sellers include Paul’s Hobby, Brick Bin, BrickzNCollectiblz and Leopard37.
Collectors should head straight for the SALUG garage sale. Club members sell off new and used sets, minifigures and rare parts once a year, and this is that once. If you’re going to shop, Saturday morning gets you first pick.
Parking and transit
Parking is on site. University CTrain station on the Red Line is a short walk from MacEwan Hall. Sunday closes an hour earlier than Saturday, so plan around that if you’re coming by transit.
