Happy Thanksgiving my fellow Canadians!
Thanksgiving in Canada has been celebrated in Canada since November 6, 1879, but wasn’t officially observed as being on the second Monday in October until January 31, 1957.
The reasoning for the timing is essentially because of the earlier harvest in the northern hemisphere. It therefore corresponds with British and European harvest festivals, and is a traditional time for gathering with friends and family to celebrate and enjoy the bounty of the season.
It’s food, fun and football!
Enjoy and save room for the pie!!

If it’s hot, wet and sticky and it’s not yours, don’t touch it!
