Thanksgiving - Canada
by Aneta Johnson

floating date October


In Canada we celebrate Thanksgiving on the second Monday in October. It is "a day of General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed." The tradition on how Thanksgiving was brought to Canada in 1975 in Nova Scotia, the citizens of Halifax celebrated the end of the seven years war with Thanksgiving. For Thanksgiving we usually have friends or relatives over, and we have a turkey for dinner. This year we're going to my aunties house in Edmonton for a family reunion. We'll celebrate Thanksgiving as well as my grandma and grandpa's 50th anniversary.
