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. \nPlus\, enjoy classic sugar shack activities:\n🪗Live traditional music during the meal\n🍭 Maple taffy on snow\n🛷Snow slides\, snow scooters & children’s snowshoes\n🌲 Scenic trails around the sugar shack and access to all outdoor installations \nIt is very important to let us know if you have any allergies right after you book your ticket!

SUMMARY:Creative Community: From Poetry to Song
DESCRIPTION:Creative Community:\nFrom Poetry to Song\n\n\n\n\nSpend a cozy afternoon immersed in bilingual poetry and song\, with live performances by Roger Bontemps Dubé and Owen Ferguson. \n\n\n\n\nIn addition to the performances by singer-songwriters Roger Bontemps Dubé and Owen Ferguson\, this gathering is both an open mic and open stage session. You can join a sing-along\, play your instrument\, read poetry\, or simply listen. \n  \n\n\n\nProgram: \n— Performance and sing-along: Roger Bontemps Dubé\, singer-songwriter \n— Open mic\, open stage\, discussion: Luc Murray Mercier\, moderator \n— Performance: Owen Ferguson\, singer-songwriter \nThis activity is bilingual. English and French will be used in an alternating fashion.\n\nBook your tickets here!\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nGuests \n \n  \nHaving worked in the field of interactive entertainment and teaching as a graphic designer\, Roger Bontemps Dubé‘s career took a turn in 2003. It was then that he published his first children’s book\, Presto et Balthazar\, with great success. As if by magic\, he subsequently transformed into a modern-day troubadour. Since then\, he has performed brilliantly in different contexts: libraries\, schools\, festivals\, and book fairs. \n  \n  \n \nOwen Ferguson is a PhD student and solo musician from Ontario. As a member of the Strong Threads poetry group\, he began weaving spoken word into his songs as a way to showcase poetry alongside music. His latest album\, On Loss (2025)\, explores the grieving process through full-band arrangements and stripped-back acoustic guitar layered with poetry. Outside of music\, Owen is a mediocre hockey goalie and is finishing his PhD on Parkinson’s disease. At this show\, expect a mix of singing\, guitar\, poetry\, and open conversation. \n  \nLuc Murray Mercier is a library assistant at the Morrin Centre\, a graduate student in English literature at Université Laval\, and an artist whose practice ranges from performance to painting by way of sound and installation art\, dance\, and writing. \n  \nThis activity is part of the Creative Community—Making Art Together project\, made possible thanks to the support of the Government of Canada. \nHave a look at the full programming here!
