Failsafe Cross-Country March Break 2011 Activities

Hockey Camp at Upper Canada College, 2006

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! A whole week off school to frolic, play, and burn off all that energy built up since the Winter Holidays with a fun-filled schedule that their parents haven planned for them weeks in advance. Right? 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.
