A SWEET TRADITION! Captures the enchantment of Canada's maple syrup season! Order today!
When nights are still cold but daytime brings a thaw, the maple's sweet sap begins to flow. March and early April mark the typical time for maple syrup production across eastern and central Canada. As the tapped trees slowly yield their sugary water, friends and families venture out to nearby sugar shacks to revel in an annual rite that is embedded in this nation's cultural fabric. The experience is a true treat for the senses, whether it's thesweet scent of the boiling sap, the thrill of a horse-pulled sleigh ride, or the simple joy of watching syrup poured onto snow and twisted into maple taffy. It's folklore and tradition in an old-timeambiance, but it's also a festive-and tasty-way to bid farewell to another Canadian winter!

Design:
Designed by Canadian artist Tony Bianco, your coin captures the wonder of a quintessentially Canadian tradition. The engraved scene is set in early spring, whenthe temperatures slowly climb during the day but fall again after sunset. The application of vibrant colour on the coin adds several focal points along the leafless landscape, which is otherwise dominatedby silver and white. A sleigh pulled by a team of horses adds a timeless quality to the setting-as does the bright red sugarhouse nestled in the maple grove, where the sap is boiled to produce pure maple syrup. In the foreground, the eye is naturally drawntowards the bright winter clothing of a young child, who wondrously peers into a bucket and curiously studies the collected sap during their visit to thesugar shack.
