For the third year in a row, neighbours are coming together to make old fashioned maple syrup by tapping private trees right here in Regal Heights.
And the word is spreading.
On Thursday, February 27, Digital Broadcast Journalist Nick Westoll of Global News Toronto paid a visit while a small team drilled and tapped the first of more than half a dozen trees we will be doing this year.
RHRA Chairman John Keating talked to Nick about the process and what it means to the community. You can see the result below:

Since our eEastbourne Maple Syrup efforts were shut down by the
City after receiving permission from the city for 13 years (1980-1993) as these were maples on front lawns but on “city side of the
Property” I am curios that your trees must all be on the owner’s
Property are private tyres.
I tapped 30 Suger and Norway maples on our street Eglinton-
Oriole Park area and would be delighted to visit your operation.
We will be celebrating our 41 st Eastbourne Maple Syrup Festival
This spring. Looking forward to sharing with you the love of the efforts.
