The weather may be brisk, but hearts are warm when spending quality time together.
Keen to spend time in nature with your family this March Break?
Here’s a list of fun happenings across the province:
Bronte Creek Provincial Park — Maple Syrup Festival
“Sugaring off” is a tradition at Bronte Creek Provincial Park. The park’s annual Maple Syrup Festival begins the first weekend in March and runs every weekend in the month, plus the week of March Break.
The festival heritage staff dress in historical attire and immerse visitors in the history and culture of maple syrup.
Attractions include: pancake house, fresh maple candy, fresh maple taffy, guide tours of maple lane, gift shop, wagon rides, farm animals, historical tours, family activities, and more!

Algonquin Provincial Park — family fun all week
March Break is perfect for early spring camping. Algonquin’s Mew Lake Campground still has lots of electrical sites available on the reservation system (as well as a number of first-come, first-served sites).
The ice rink will be open all week, weather permitting (and if the ice melts, the park will set up a road hockey area). A campfire will be maintained at the rink for skaters to warm up.
Don’t forget to stop by the Visitor’s Centre and chat with our naturalists!
