| About Thanksgiving |
| Thanksgiving Day is observed on the second Monday of October. Thanksgiving is a statutory holiday in most jurisdictions of Canada. The Canadian Thanksgiving Day came about because of a combination of traditions. It is a chance for people to give thanks for a good harvest and other fortunes in the past year. Traditionally, this included roast turkey and seasonal produce, such as pumpkin, corn ears and pecan nuts. Now, the meal may consist of other foods, particularly if the family is of non-European descent. Thanksgiving Day in Canada is linked to the European tradition of harvest festivals. Thanksgiving is a holiday of Thanking and Giving. The Thanksgiving Day is observed by church services and family reunions. |
