Maple Sugar Festival 

Spring has sprung and that means maple sugar season! Canadians have long honoured the tradition of visiting the sugar shack during the springtime, and the Richelieu Park’s Sugar Shack is holding a Maple Sugar Festival. Located in Ottawa, Ontario, the Richelieu Sugar Shack taps 1000 trees every year in order to produce approximately 400 litres of maple syrup! While there, you can learn about the entire maple syrup process from their team of volunteers.
