The sun was shining, the sap was running and the faces were smiling at Willow Park Ecology Centre on March 14 when the park hosted its annual Maple Time at Willow Park celebration. Dozens of local kids brought their parents, grandparents and caregivers to the park for a bright, sunny afternoon of learning what trees produce the best sap for syrup, how to tap a tree to collect the sap and how the sap is transformed into delicious maple syrup. The afternoon ended on a (sugar) high note with samplings of different types of syrup and other tasty maple treats. Photos by Andrea Lefebvre Are You Going South?
