Maple Magic with Delmanor Glen Abbey!

In today's age of high tech electronics, it is important for everyone to nurture their spirits with pleasures & past times from days gone by.

The time honored Canadian tradition of extracting maple syrup was demonstrated at Delmanor Glen Abbey during a visit by Sean Chubbuck, who brought his own exaction equipment, and even a part of a tree!

Tools of the trade untouched by time showed how the most basic tradition can produce the beloved results that we all enjoy today.  The residents of Delmanor Glen Abbey were delighted to have an experience in their own homes that is normally reserved for those that are out in the wilderness. 



After the demonstration, a prepared quantity of maple syrup was boiled and then poured over crushed snow to create the most deliciously sticky maple candy, with a quality far surpassing anything found in a store.  The Delmanor GlenAbbey residents had a truly gourmet experience!

Bringing the seniors of Delmanor Glen Abbey together to share traditions does a great deal to foster feelings of home and community.  By sharing in the project and experience, and appreciating Canadian roots, bonds were formed that will be sure to last long after the delicious smell of maple syrup has disappeared from the hallways of Delmanor Glen Abbey.  Even residents that are relatively new to Canada felt a stronger connection to our great country, and appreciated the opportunity to experience a tradition that was developed by early settlers many years ago.
