Sweet seasonal offerings designed with public safety in mind

Located near Lake Ontario, the lands where Bradley Museum is situated have a long history of providing food and shelter for Indigenous peoples and early settlers. At this time of year, we notice the days getting longer and winter turning into spring. Sunlight warms the earth, melting snow, waking up slumbering wildlife, and prompting sap to start flowing in our maple trees. This is the season for making maple sugar, the traditional first food of the year.

The Museums of Mississauga gratefully acknowledge the First Nations people and allies that shared their knowledge and counselled us on creating these materials, including Jayme Gaspar, Andrew Judge, Jai King-Green, Bryan LaForme, Caitlin LaForme, Alexandre Nahdee, Faith Rivers, Mark Sault, Peter Schuler, Diane Thomas, Lorenzo Whetung, and Murray Whetung. Miigwetch!

Here are some ways you can stay safe while celebrating the maple harvest and exploring our connections to the natural world!

Due to the province wide lockdown all remaining in person maple tours have been cancelled.
