Dancing – it’s fun to do, it’s entertaining to watch, it’s a great way to exercise. And it’s at its best when done in a group. The bigger the better. On Sunday, May 1st, 2011, the third annual Conference of Independent School (CIS) Dance Festival is taking place at Branksome Hall in Toronto.

February is the shortest month of the year, and it sure felt like it this time around. But while parents are still occupied with the day-today bustle, kids have been patiently awaiting the month of March and what it will bring: plenty of puddles to splash in, green cookies on St. Patrick’s Day, and the Holy Grail – March Break!

Unfortunately many parents across Canada aren’t usually as diligent at counting down the days as their kids, so March Break can sneak up suddenly. But hopefully we can help. Here are our picks for fun activities for kids and the family during the March Break in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver.
