Ontario is the perfect place to spend your March Break + Maple Season

ToDoOntario is your go-to guide for the inside scoop on family fun.

February 28, 2023 – During the unofficial transition from winter to spring, March is the month that offers so many awesome activities in Ontario. ToDoOntario.com has loads of March Break events, giveaways and more. March is a special time in Ontario, not only because of the Break (although, who doesn’t love a holiday?) but also because it’s Maple Syrup season!

“We love to highlight Maple Season on the website and across our social channels because it’s a truly Canadian experience,” says Jeanine Jankowski, owner, ToDoOntario, “Ontario produces over one million litres of maple syrup a year – and Canada is the world leader in maple production, supplying 80% of the world’s syrup! Maple season is a great way to educate your kids about the environment and food production, in a super yummy and fun way.”

Maple Festivals + Getaways
From Haliburton to Simcoe to Perth, ToDoOntario has created an awesome guide to Maple Season with an extensive list of festivals across the province. Check it out: todoontario.com/maple-festivals/ If you’re looking for a unique getaway, visit: todoontario.com/best-march-april-maple-syrup-getaways/

Fun Online Programs To Do While Under Quarantine

While you are safe at home, sick or not, abiding quarantine and self isolation rules can be tough. It can all seem smooth and easy at times (time to clean, time to bake, time to Netflix) and then in a moment turn challenging and bottom-out lonesome. It feels like the list is long with lots to do and yet nothing to do at the same time. Getting through this is easier if we are keeping busy while having fun.

Usually we do this by going out and attending various events or workshops, but now all of those in-person activities are cancelled and on hold. There is good news and that is that a few of the awesome Ontario businesses out there, who miss you too, are sharing some of their in-house content ONLINE.

This online activity content is great for kids or for adults. I know I’ve been doing a lot of ‘kids’ activities while I’ve been home, like drawing, video games and colouring. This type of organized content is there for you at any time to fit your weird new at-home schedule and it lets you forget about having to plan one more (bleeping) thing you have to do, and relieve some stress. The best unexpected perk is that for a wee span of time you can remember what it was like before the pandemic and connect to a world outside your bubble. 

I did round up a few quaran-tivities below for you to check out, and make sure you read it all, I’ve included a little bonus activity at the end (it includes peeping and spying!).

Be sure to let me know what you think, or if I missed something super cool! – Jeanine @ ToDoOntario.com
