Welcome to the Jumpstreet Sugar Shack!

You know it's Sugar Shack season when birds are chirping, snow is melting, and maple sap is flowing! Cabanes à sucre, as we call them in French, are a fascinating part of French-Canadian history, tradition and culture. They demonstrate the resilience and strength of Quebecers coming out of the long winter months, and the identity of hard-working Canadians who proudly sport the maple leaf on their national flag.

To help you patiently await your next trip to La Belle Province, we pieced together some sweet resources for you to enjoy with your students.
