March Break 2027: dates by province and school board
There is no national March Break: each school board (or, in Nova Scotia and PEI, the province) sets its own. Easter is early in 2027: Good Friday is Friday, March 26, 2027 and Easter Monday Monday, March 29, 2027, so some breaks run into the Easter long weekend.
