Please join us for our annual Norval Maple Madness Open House on Sunday, March. 24 from 10-12 p.m. or 1-3 p.m.
All members of the UCC community are welcome to attend and tour the sugar bush, learn how trees are tapped, see sap boiled into syrup and even get a taste test. Back at Stephen House, we will have pancakes and sausages with real Norval maple syrup, plus an assortment of other goodies and refreshments.
At this time of year, our trails can be quite muddy and often slippery. Rubber or snow boots are recommended. Come dressed for the weather, and we suggest bringing towels or a change of clothes for the drive home. Dogs on leashes are welcome to join (but won’t have access to the indoors).
Please contact Amanda Vieira-Hasz in the Association Office at 416-488-1125, ext. 2038 with any questions.
Parking information
There is limited parking on the Norval Campus. Please consider coordinating with fellow attendees to share rides and reduce the number of vehicles on the grassy area. Additionally, we recommend using vehicles with four-wheel drive if available.
