Canadian Thanksgiving
The first recorded date of Canadians celebrating Thanksgiving was Thursday, January 10, 1799. Throughout the years, the date changed many times, until in 1957, a proclamation permanently fixed Thanksgiving Day on the second Monday of October. Unlike the American tradition of remembering the Pilgrims, Canadians give thanks for a successful harvest.In this spirit, I would like to wish a happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians!
