You might have come across the term ‘sugar shacking’, a fascinating activity that happens during springtime. If you’re curious to know what a ‘cabane à sucre’ or sugar shack is and what transpires there, here’s an explanation:

Sugar shacks hold a special place in Eastern Canada, and the credit goes to Mother Nature herself. Sugar maple trees thrive in icy winters and to release the sap in spring, they require cool nights and warm sunny days, which is a staple of Québec’s weather. Interesting point: Canada is the source of about 80 per cent of the world’s pure maple syrup, with Québec contributing over 90 % of the country’s output. In the year 2016 alone, Québec was responsible for roughly 71.4% of the total global production (source: FPAQ). Moreover, we take pride in crafting the finest maple syrup in the world!
