March Break
Assuming that the March Break period doesn't change school year to school year (does it), I was wondering exactly how many days do we get off and when does it start/end. My dad needs to know as he is planning something way in advance for his brother's daughter's wedding. Thanks people.

there is no such thing as march break. The week off we get is called reading week and is generally the last week of February (generally coinciding with family day). You can look this up on the sessional date listed in the office of the registrar website.

EDIT:
Monday, February 20 to
Saturday, February 25

We don't have March Break per se, we get "Reading Week", and it's sometime in the middle of February (I wanna say the third week...). But yeah, you get that whole week off. If you count the weekends, that's 9 days of no classes (weekend -> weekend).

Mac's March break is essentially "Reading Week" which happens in February on the Monday that Family day starts, so technically we only get 4 days off. During those days everyone ends up studying cause usually midterms are held the following week.

Universities don't get a march break like public schools do.
