Join us for a sugar shack experience with traditional Quebecois flavours, live folk music, and fun outdoor activities! Open to all!🍁🎶
A sugar shack (cabane à sucre in French) is a traditional maple syrup-producing cabin found in Québec and other parts of eastern Canada. It is a place where people gather in late winter or early spring to enjoy a traditional meal and taste fresh maple syrup. Originally, sugar shacks were built near maple tree groves where maple sap was collected and boiled to produce maple syrup. Today, many sugar shacks operate as seasonal restaurants offering traditional Quebecois meals and entertainment.
Plus, enjoy classic sugar shack activities:
🪗Live traditional music during the meal
🍭 Maple taffy on snow
🛷Snow slides, snow scooters & children’s snowshoes
🌲 Scenic trails around the sugar shack and access to all outdoor installations

🚙 Transportation
If you need transportation, please follow this link to book a transportation ticket!
At VEQ, our goal is to provide access to a variety of activities for everyone in our community. However, we’ve noticed that our free transportation service has experienced a significant number of no-shows, which has unfortunately led to wasted resources that could have been used to fund other exciting activities for all.
To help ensure that everyone who needs a ride can rely on the service, starting in February 2025, we will be requesting a deposit of $5 to $10 to reserve a spot for transportation (for information, the minimum cost to rent a bus is $275 plus applicable taxes). The deposit will be refunded to participants who attend the activity they reserved transportation for.
- This ticket can be booked or cancelled up to 48 hours before the event.
- A $10 refund will be processed within 5-10 business days for those who are present at the meeting point for transportation.
- Transportation is available only for children aged 4 and older.
- Please ensure that you need transportation before booking a seat, as VEQ will cover the service fees for processing cancellations.
If you require wheelchair-accessible transportation, have special needs, or have any other questions, please contact Viktoria at newcomers@veq.ca.
