Well, we’ve got just the thing for you!

The St. Francis Centre is pleased to present Lights! Camera! Buzz In! – a free virtual trivia series that will test your knowledge on a variety of fun themes.  You’ll go head to head with other players, trying to climb the leaderboard for some great prizes. Compete every month with themes like Disney, Broadway, Summer Blockbusters, Musical Decades and more!

It’s brain bustin’ time, Ajax!
