The sweetness of spring is yours for the tasting at this year's Sugarbush Maple Syrup Festival, taking place February 28 – April 6, 2015.

Through a partnership with Credit Valley Conservation (CVC), there are three locations this year offering maple syrup festivities for the whole family. These include the Kortright Centre for Conservation in Vaughan, Bruce's Mill Conservation Area in Stouffville and now Terra Cotta Conservation Area in Halton Hills.

Weekend and March Break activities include sugarbush demonstrations, maple syrup samples, wagon rides and other family fun activities. Delicious pancakes with fresh maple syrup can be purchased at all locations.
