Verified winter-holiday and spring/March-break dates for 11 Canadian provinces/territories (2026-27 school year), expanded to a daily date x province panel (2026-09-01 to 2027-08-31, 4,015 rows) with break phase, break day, days-to-next-break, and a documented 0-100 family-demand index (100 in-break; 14-day pre-break ramp; 7-day post-break decay). Join on (date, province_code) to time March-break family-travel promos or model winter-break kids-home viewing surges. Every break verified against an official ministry/board calendar (provenance per row). BC/AB spring breaks are district-variable (largest-district window shown); Yukon covers Whitehorse Dept-of-Education schools; NT/NU excluded - unverifiable in the collection window. Break dates are facts (Feist v. Rural) -> commercial_use=yes with attribution.
