SPRING

Spring - This is when snow begins to melt and it gets warmer. There is often a lot of rain at this time of year. Days are warmer and longer but nights are still cool. Plants and grass begin to grow in the spring.

St. Patrick’s Day

St. Patrick's Day, celebrated annually on March 17th, commemorates St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, and has evolved into a global celebration of Irish culture, marked by parades, music, Irish dancing, traditional food, and wearing the color green.

RAMADAN

Celebrating Ramadan in Canada involves observing the Islamic holy month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community. Muslims in Canada fast from dawn until sunset, refraining from food, drink, and other physical needs. The month is marked by increased worship, prayer (especially the Taraweeh prayers), and giving to charity. Iftar (the meal to break the fast) is often shared with family and friends, and special events may be held at mosques and community centers. Muslims also celebrate Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan with prayers, feasts, and festivities.

MARCH BREAK

In Ontario, Canada, School March Break (often referred to as Spring Break) is a scheduled one-week break during the month of March. It is a holiday for elementary and secondary school students, typically taking place in the middle of the month. This break provides students and staff a short respite from schoolwork and classes, and it is a time for families to go on vacation, relax, or engage in leisure activities.

The dates for the March Break vary slightly each year depending on the school board, but it usually falls around the second or third week of March. During this time, many families in Ontario take advantage of the break to travel, enjoy winter or early spring activities, or spend time together.

It’s important to note that some school boards may have different schedules, so it’s always a good idea to check with the local school or district to confirm specific dates.
