Sugar House Time

April

The Atikamekw people invite you to visit their sugar house, the traditional maple syrup production site. It is said that it is by observing a squirrel drinking sugar water from a maple tree that the first Native, several hundred years ago, began to collect water and boil it to make maple syrup and then share it with the first Europeans who arrived in the seventeenth century. The Atikamekw people still know how to collect water traditionally.

During the month of April of each year, experience a culture and tasting package of 2 nights and three days, which will introduce you to the traditional process of making maple syrup and let you taste some of the region’s most delicious food.
