14 October - Thanksgiving in Canada
Thanksgiving in Canada involves families coming together to eat turkey and celebrate the harvest, but relatives don't tend to travel as far across the country like they might in the United States.
Canada sort of started to get a handle on the Thanksgiving situation in 1879, when November 6 of that year was proclaimed a national holiday. But even then, confusion reigned, with the day falling anywhere in October or November until 1921. That year, it was combined with Remembrance Day, and the two celebrations remained paired until 1930, when Thanksgiving was moved to a Monday in October. It wasn’t until 1957 that the holiday was formally declared for the second Monday in October.
