Maple Days at the Village
As Canadians, we know the best childhood memories always include a visit to the Cabane à Sucre (also known as the “Sugar Shack”) where we spent our March break afternoons maple syrup tasting, pancake eating, and learning all about the infamous Maple tree and its sweet surprises beneath the bark. The Village at Black Creek is sticky with maple syrup joy this March Break, with storytelling sessions around the fire, sugar shack parties, and tours of the trees. Discovering the Indigenous tradition of maple sugaring never tasted so sweet. Open from March 10-14. More info.
