[QUOTE="Chronicle_Cat, post: 1894324, member: 486327"] Here's some about Canadian Thanksgiving : [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving_(Canada)[/URL] It hasn't been to commemorate a specific date as a historical celebration (the way the American Thanksgiving is tied to the arrival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock). I had not heard about Martin Frobisher until recently (even though we studied him as an explorer in grade 5). I think Canadian thanksgiving was influenced by the tradition by Harvest celebrations in English and French Canada both. (The arrival of the United Empire Loyalists - Americans loyal to the British crown who came here after the American revolution) also had an influence.) It is now celebrated earlier than the American one. Ours is the first Sunday in October, theirs is late November. In eastern Canada, it is usually at the peak of the beautiful autumn colours (like the sugar maple in my avatar.) [/QUOTE]
