Access to Brock’s Monument will be closed starting this month for major masonry repairs, backed by a $1.1-million federal investment. Work is expected to continue until spring 2026.
St. Catharines MP Chris Bittle announced Monday that Parks Canada will restore the 56-metre monument’s deteriorating mortar joints to stabilize the 172-year-old structure. An assessment flagged the need for repairs to protect the historic landmark.
Parks Canada said the work is critical for public safety and long-term preservation of the monument, which has stood at Queenston Heights since 1853 to commemorate Sir Isaac Brock and the 1812 battle fought there. The project will also improve the visitor experience and support local tourism.
