As the days grow longer and the sun finally warms the late afternoons, a gentler breeze sweeps across the island. March arrives like a promise—the promise of a land preparing to awaken from its slumber. The snow begins its slow transformation, and the air carries the vibrant energy of the thaw. It’s the month of transition, when we want to shake off the winter lethargy and rediscover the joy of getting together. In Laval, March isn’t just a transitional month; it’s a time to fall in step with the rhythm of seasonthat is changing.
Spring break is an opportunity to reconnect with the element that defines our region: water. From February 28 to March 7, let yourself be swept away by the experience Rivière Rivière at the C.I.EAU. Through a 360° immersive dome, you’ll dive into the heart of a drop of water, following its journey from its birth in nature to its return to the river. Between the Ice Rally and lab workshops, your budding scientists will explore the importance of this water cycle, which brings our plains back to life every spring.
March wouldn't be complete without the earth's first gift: the rising sap. At the Constantin Sugar Shack or at the Ferme Aux Vieux Chênes, you can savor this tradition with a sincere smile, in a setting that evokes the strength of the land. It’s time to gather around a bountiful table, just as in days gone by, to honor this sweet heritage. Let the warmth of the hearth and the sweetness of the syrup envelop you. This is where we celebrate the forest’s reawakening and the end of the cold months.
As the days grow longer, the desire to keep the day going after work sets in. At Les Enfants Terribles, we invite you to embrace a new ritual to mark the end of the workday and celebrate the return of daylight. Monday through Thursday, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., the atmosphere is perfect for socializing. Between the $1 oysters and the Jeuditini, it’s the perfect invitation to unwind and turn your routine into a moment of connection, in step with the daylight that’s gaining ground every day.
On March 17, green takes center stage, but it’s the richness of our soil that fuels the celebration. To honor St. Patrick’s Day, turn to the best our pantry has to offer by whipping up a traditional Irish stew. By pairing lamb from Agneau de Laval with root vegetables from the Forget Farm, you create a delicious bridge between Irish traditions and our local produce. This rustic stew pays homage to the market gardener’s patience and the quality of our livestock—a hearty feast to celebrate the imminent arrival of warmer days.
Don’t forget that in March, we set our clocks forward! Although popular belief often links this practice to the agricultural world, this time change was established to synchronize our human activities with the sun’s path. This change is the official signal that spring is just around the corner. Take advantage of this extra daylight to go observe the flora and fauna coming to life at the Nature Center. Every extra minute of daylight is an invitation to explore the landscape and see the first rushes peeking out from beneath the melting snow.
March continues this transformation that began with the first warmer rays of sunlight. It is a pivotal month, a point in the calendar where new energy propels us toward tomorrow. Laval becomes the perfect backdrop for these moments when we come together, when we’re on the move, and when we finally embrace this light that unfailingly heralds the coming season.
