I am so glad you are enjoying Canada.I am Canadian, I live in the province of Ontario in the extreme southern part near Lake Erie.We are known as Norfolk County Ontario's Garden.We have over 200 diverse crops from apples to zucchini.My favorite maple treat is the syrup. it goes great with vanilla ice cream.Here in Norfolk, we tap our trees also to get that special sap.t is widely used on pancakes which there are a few pancakes festives that happen during the season.
