February is the time when maple syrup production begins, and there is no better way to enjoy this than at the BC Forest Discovery Centre’s annual Bigleaf Maple Syrup Festival. This festival takes place at the BCFDC on Saturday, February 4, 2012, from 10am to 4:30pm. We featured our own mini maple syrup event in November (see here) and it was a success!  If anyone wishes to follow up and learn more about this Canadian staple, this festival is one you should not miss!

Success by 6 has once again launched it's annual "Early Years Awards," the tagline being: "Good business has many rewards. Vote For those who care about family."
