One of the things Canada is best known for is their maple syrup. From the 10 different species of maple trees, the red maple leaf on the flag, and the popular hockey known as the Toronto “Maple Leafs,” it is clear Canada has a generous supply and love of maple syrup. In New Brunswick, one of the most popular springtime activities for families is to visit a maple sugar camp. This fun tradition is a great way to familiarize yourself with Canadian culture. Moncton Cares wants to provide a guide to different Sugarbush locations that newcomers to Moncton can visit.
