Starting February 16, 2025, the Vanier Sugar Shack welcomes visitors to enjoy traditional maple syrup experiences in Canada’s only urban sugar shack. Located in Richelieu Park, just 5 km from downtown Ottawa, the sugar shack offers a reimagined menu by Chef Julien Fournier, featuring dishes like “The Lumberjack” and “The Hiker.” Weekend visits are on a first-come, first-served basis, while weekday group reservations can be made in advance.
