1. Differences Between American and Canadian Thanksgiving
Canadians usually are together on Thanksgiving weekend. In
Canada this day is not as important as in the United States, it’s
just a popular time for Canadians to spend some time with their
family.
How It Began
Canadian Thanksgiving is more closely connected with the
traditions of Europe than of the United States. In Canada
harvest festivals always took place in October.
The first thanksgiving celebration took place in Canada when
Martin Frobisher arrived in Newfoundland in 1578 because he
wanted to thank god for his safe trip to the New World.
Official Holiday
Canadian Parliament announced that on the second
Monday of October, Thanksgiving would be "a day of
general thanksgiving to almighty God for the bountiful harvest
with which Canada has been blessed.”
Why is Canadian Thanksgiving in October
Thanksgiving was moved to the second Monday in October
because World Wars Remembrance Day was celebrated 11th
November and Thanksgiving kept falling on the same week.
