Spring is in the air which means…it’s maple syrup season! You don’t have to go too far outside of the city to celebrate Canada’s most famous export – Bruce’s Mill Conservation Area (near Stouffville) and Kortright Centre for Conservation (just north of Woodbridge) are both participating in the Sugarbush Maple Syrup Festival from March 5th until April 10th. Activities include demonstrations, wagon rides, crafts and family activities, and of course, pancakes and maple syrup!

Admission is $9.00 for adults and $6.50 for seniors and children 4 years old and up. Pancake meals vary in price from about $2.50 for a pancake and a drink to $20.00 for a family platter. Canada produces about 85% of the world’s maple syrup, so get out there and show your Canadian pride (and celebrate spring!) by checking out the Sugarbush Maple Syrup Festival!
