The Vanier Museopark is delighted to announce to the official opening of the Vanier Sugar Shack for the 2024 sugar season.
Less than 5 km from downtown Ottawa, the Vanier Sugar Shack is the only operating urban sugar shack in North America. Set in a 17.5-acre maple grove in the heart of the nation's capital, the Vanier Museopark keeps alive the tradition of sugar production established in Vanier since the 1940s by the White Fathers, missionaries from Africa.
We're proud to offer quality food from local producers, in an enchanting setting where the charm of yesteryear blends with modernity. That's what you'll experience at Vanier Sugar Shack.
