Compare every verified school break week available for 2029 in one place. The grid shows how the breaks line up across the country, and the table identifies the school days covered by each break and the first day back. Province-wide weeks appear alongside school board weeks, with the scope of each entry made clear. Where calendars differ within a province or territory, the individual entries preserve those differences. Follow the source beneath a table for the official calendar. Further entries are added as published calendars are checked, rather than carried forward from an earlier year.
