Canadian Thanksgiving Day

Different from other country, thanksgiving occurred on the second Monday in October in Canada, which celebrates the harvest and other blessings of the past year. While the actual Thanksgiving holiday is on a Monday, Canadians may gather for their Thanksgiving feast on any day during the long weekend. Foods traditionally served at Thanksgiving include roasted turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, sweet corn, various autumn vegetables, and pumpkin pie. Baked ham and apple pie are also commonly served, as well as regional dishes such as salmon or wild game.
