The students of Multicultural Clubs of Bishop Marrocco/Thomas Merton Catholic Secondary School (BMTM) and St. Mary's Catholic Secondary School went on a trip to Kortright Centre for Conservation to participate in the annual Sugarbush Maple Syrup Festival. The trip was organised by CultureLink's SWIS and Youth Program, BMTM's English as Second Language department and supported by West Neighbourhood House.
The weather was chilly but the students had a blast! The tour guides taught us about the origins of maple syrup harvesting, the evolution of the traditional and modern methods, and lots more! We even got to enjoy a delicious lunch of pancakes and maple syrup made locally!

Thanks BMTM and St Mary's CSS for supporting this trip!
