School planning in Manitoba combines a provincial framework with division decisions. The Department sets the school year’s opening, official closing and spring vacation; divisions determine when classes begin and end and schedule their non-instructional days. This page presents two full province-wide calendars, including 2026–27. For the following four school years, it includes only opening and closing dates from the Department’s five-year projection, with unpublished vacations and holidays clearly identified. Below those calendars, the division table brings together local first and last days of classes and Christmas vacation information.

School divisions in Manitoba 2026–27: first day, Christmas vacation (winter break), last day

For 2026–27, Manitoba Education and Early Childhood Learning publishes a single table covering every public school division and district. The division table below follows its alphabetical order and preserves the dates as the Department prints them. Its thirty-eight rows show the first day of classes, the last school day before Christmas vacation, the first school day afterwards and the final day of classes. The shared spring vacation appears in the province-wide tables above, while each division’s own calendar supplies non-instructional days and other local details.

Christmas break by province: Christmas break 2026 in Canada.

Common questions

Does the return shown after spring vacation apply to every school?

Spring vacation is scheduled for Monday, March 29 to Friday, April 2, 2027, covering 5 weekdays. The calendar gives no return date; this site calculates Monday, April 5, 2027 as the first weekday after the break that the calendar does not list as a day off. Not necessarily. The break table shows a calculated first day back after spring vacation, but a division may add a non-instructional day. Check the division’s published calendar before treating that entry as the confirmed return to classes.

Why do the later calendars contain fewer entries?

The later key-dates tables use only the opening and closing dates published in the Department’s projection. Their notes identify vacations and holidays that have not yet been published. Missing entries stay unfilled rather than being inferred from earlier calendars.

How is Thanksgiving supported on this page?

The province-wide table uses Thanksgiving dates printed by Manitoba Employment Standards, which agree with the school calendar. The statutory-holiday page leaves a year undated when that branch has not yet published it; its yearly tables show where that limit applies.

Why can class schedules differ between divisions?

The province sets the school year’s opening, official closing and shared spring vacation. Divisions choose their first and last class days and Christmas vacation boundaries within that framework. The division table shows those local choices together for comparison.

Does this collection take the place of a local calendar?

No. The division table gives first and last days of classes and Christmas vacation information, but it is not a complete local schedule. A division’s own calendar is still needed for non-instructional days, early dismissals and arrangements affecting its schools.
