Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving in Canada traces back to 1578 when European explorer Martian Frobisher held the first ceremony in Newfoundland. First Nations groups have always celebrated after the harvest, and in 1957, it became a statutory holiday. The celebration includes enjoying turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, and more. The Thanksgiving theory emphasizes cultural and ethnic integration, symbolizing a day of gratitude for blessings like fish, peace, food, school, partridge, friends, and family.
