There are so many reasons to volunteer with Red-Leaf in Canada but did you ever think of coming for the food? Did you know that Canada is the largest producer of maple syrup in the world?!
Maple trees are tapped for only 4 – 6 weeks every year as ideal conditions call for warm sunny days and frosty nights. The sap from the trees is boiled down to produce maple syrup, maple cream, sugar and candy. Canadians traditionally put maple syrup on pancakes. Many communities have “Sugarbush” festivals in March and April. I went to a local festival a couple of weeks ago and had pancakes outside in the park.
If you haven’t tried REAL maple syrup, believe me that alone is worth the trip to Canada. Of course there are also the wonderfun volunteer opportunities with Red Leaf. Our programs include Animal Care, Environmental Conservation, Children’s Programs and Community Support Programs. Red-Leaf Volunteers make a difference.
