International Women's Day - A woman and the sugarbush

To celebrate International Woman's Day FPAQ produced this film showcasing the women behind Canada's finest export - pure maple syrup.

The women of Québec who love maple go into the forest to take sap from the trees and turn it into delicious maple syrup, butter, taffy and even cotton candy. By doing so, they share with you the best that nature has to offer. This is the inspiring story of one of those women: Sylvie Favreau-Bisaillon, co-owner of Érablière du Cap in Acton Vale.

Small Contribution. Big Impact.

The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.

We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.

 

A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
