    Ontario typically has a summer tour each year that is quite popular. I'm not sure they are doing one this year, since they are hosting the North American Maple Syrup Council / International Maple Syrup Institute meetings from Oct 20-23 in Stratford. I'd imagine they are all very busy planning and arranging for this meeting, so they may have just skipped the summer tour for this year.

    There will be some days with technical presentations, so if you're close by, you might want to attend.

    OMSPA will only be hosting the NAMSC meeting in October in Stratford this year. In 2011 they should return to their usual summer tour in July.

    It's in Belleville this year. I think it starts this coming Thursday.
