The Sugar Bush

by Bernice Voordouw
On Friday, March 18, we took a virtual trip through the sugar bush. There was a video that explained the process from sap to syrup. We learned some interesting quick facts about maple syrup, discussed syrups from around the world, sang a song about pancakes, and closed off the evening with another song that had us dancing in our seats! Of course there was a tasting involved as well. Learning is about involving all the senses and that tasting will stick with us for the year! Why not get out into the sugar bushes of Niagara and experience a great Canadian tradition!
