Origin of Maple Sugar Festival

Canada is rich in maple leaves, among which the provinces of Quebec and Ontario in the southeast have the most beautiful maple leaves. Canada is full of maple forests. In late autumn, the maple leaves are red like sunset clouds, like flowers blooming in summer. Therefore, Canada is called "the country of maple leaves."
 
In Canada, people have a deeper feeling for the maple leaf and regard it as a symbol of the country. From the flag, the national emblem, the national flower, to the daily necessities of the common people, the maple leaf pattern abounds and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Canadians especially like maple, not only because it has ornamental value, but also because it can be used to make syrup for people to enjoy. Among many maple species, the most famous are sugar maple and black maple. It is said that the sap contains 7% to 10% sugar and can produce sugar continuously for more than 50 years. In view of this, the "Canada Maple Sugar Festival" came into being: the state stipulates that each year in March when maple syrup is collected and simmered, it is a national traditional folk festival-Maple Syrup. During this period, people happily celebrate the festival and taste the sweet gifts bestowed by nature. To add to the atmosphere, the maple sugar-producing farms everywhere will be refurbished and put on festive costumes, open to domestic and foreign tourists.
