SUMMARY:Community Maple Tapping
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, the Vanier Museopark seeks the help of the community to take part in an essential step in the production of maple syrup at its sugar shack: maple tree tapping. The Vanier Sugar Shack is the only operating sugar shack in an urban setting in Canada! \nYoung and old\, families\, couples and friends are invited to come to the Richelieu Park forest\, about 5 minutes from downtown Ottawa\, to tap sugar maple trees in the traditional way: drilling holes in the trees\, inserting spigots and hanging buckets to collect maple water\, the tree’s sweet sap. \nThe maple sap will be harvested later in the spring\, when the days are warmer\, but the nights are still cold. It will then be boiled for several hours to be transformed into maple syrup\, a golden\, amber and deliciously sweet liquid!
