Thousands of people are expected on Saturday at the Belmore Community Centre for the pancakes, sausage, maple syrup, and applesauce.

There's also live entertainment throughout the day, a craft show and sale, baked goods, a Kids Room, a maple syrup booth, and a maple syrup demonstration outside the Community Centre.

The meals are served until 6:30pm.
