• Thanksgiving in Canada - What Gives? - Most of us will have noticed that Canadian Thanksgiving comes well in advance of our neighbours to the south, and for all the predictable reasons: colder climate, earlier harvest, and that persistent urge to accomplish something (anything) before "they" do.

This group would hold huge celebrations marking the harvests and other events, sharing their food with Native American neighbors. On January 31, 1957 Parliament issued a proclamation to fix permanently the second Monday in October as "a day of general Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed."
• A History of Thanksgiving and it's Celebrations - Throughout history mankind has celebrated the bountiful harvest with thanksgiving ceremonies.
