The Scalzo family took full advantage of the sunshine on the first day of March break.
“We decide to come out and enjoy the nice weather outside at the Old Port. It was a beautiful day,” said Joe Scalzo.
Thousands of families across Quebec will be enjoying time off.
Scalzo says that this year, his family will stay close to home.
“Stay-cation out and about enjoying the city and try to get some restaurants in, along with activities with the kids,” he said.
Not everybody is staying within the province. There has been an influx of traffic at the airport, according to Marie-Claude Desgagnes, spokesperson for Trudeau International Airport.
Nearly 35,000 departures were recorded on March 1.
Projections see that same high volume of flyers returning on March 10.
