Bob Nixon’s found someone selling a traditional Canadian snack. It’s from back East and is usually a sign that spring is on the way.


It is mid July and crops are coming in to the main street farmers’ market, fresh vegetables, raspberries and blueberries, but then there’s Patrick Demers whose crop was harvest back to March.

“Traditionally find them at the farmer stores at the Québec, all sugar snacks.”

Yes, that all Canadian staple maple sugar from maple trees backing in Ontario and Québec. But Demers is bringing a bit of experience to BC.

“So what we have here is maple syrups boiled to soft frostage, what BC school kid has not heard tales of those lucky east nurse who pull the serve into this spring snow for a taste treat. Eva Kapsik sure has, she’s been here before.

“What it’s taste like?”

“Like heaven’s.”

So with the practice ten, Kapsik rolls up the maple truffle on to her stick. Trust me, it is fascinating to watch.

“It’s cool, because first of all usually do this in snow winter, you know, Canada all over the place. It’s cool you can do it in the middle summer in Vancouver when you don’t get snow.”

Where did you get the now?

It all depends who is asking. You know certain kids, tell them I’m a driver, and the other kids, ask for more, especially, I tell them I climb the mountain and get them on the way.

As Kapsik the moment she’s been waiting for.

And parents take no, little kids like it too, even never have heard of this Canadian tradition.
