What is Canadian Thanksgiving?
Canadian Thanksgiving, known as ‘Action de Grace’ in French, is an annual holiday in the North American country. This celebration, inspired by the tradition of European harvest festivals, is usually marked by the gathering of families to enjoy dishes such as turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie.
The day was also a great opportunity for sports fans, with millions watching Canadian Football League games on television.
When is Canadian Thanksgiving Day?
Canadian Thanksgiving takes place on the second Monday in October every year, which means Canadians have a three-day weekend to relax with their friends and family. This year’s celebration is scheduled for today.
How is Canadian Thanksgiving different from American Thanksgiving?
Canadian Thanksgiving occurs nearly eight weeks before American Thanksgiving, with its American counterpart falling on the fourth Thursday of November. Canadian Thanksgiving is less commercialized than American Thanksgiving because there are no big shopping sales like Black Friday.
Some Canadians didn’t even pay attention to the event, as it was just an optional vacation in the Atlantic provinces of the countries of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island.
