About The Show
From the simple 85 year old maple that served as a tree at the first organized gathering of tree sap, to the fascinating story of the pioneering women's professional league that sold out sugar bushes during the Great War, to the gold-medal glory of the 2002 Syrup Gathering Games, Syrup: A People's History is an epic CBC production that brings alive the roots of a lifestyle that has shaped a nation.
Produced in 2005, Syrup: A People's History traces the history of the gathering sap and producing maple syrup over ten episodes. Featuring stunning re-enactments, rarely seen sugar bush footage, and the words of the pioneers of the spring event, the series reveals a tale of syrup’s inventors, innovators and empire builders. More than just the story of a transformation from tree sap to pancakes, it is a story of a people, serving as a unique lens through which one can view Canada’s social history. Witness the coming of age of a nation, and the remarkable journey of a way of life that has woven itself into our cultural language and fabric.
Shot entirely in High Definition and produced in the tradition of journalistic excellence that is the hallmark of CBC/Radio-Canada, Syrup: A People's History is a landmark television event that stands as the definitive syrup documentary of record, for today's audiences as well as future generations.
Beginning Dec. 17, CBC Television will present back-to-back all-new episodes of Syrup: A People’s History each Sunday at 8:00 p.m. local time. Encore broadcasts can be seen Mondays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on CBC Newsworld.
