Canadian Thanksgiving is actually the OG holiday, with the first reported instance of a Thanksgiving in North America was in 1578, when Martin Frobisher and his crew celebrated safely landing in Nunavut. Even one of the other original Thanksgiving holidays, held by Samuel De Champlain in 1606, came 15 years before the first recorded American Thanksgiving.
Canadian Thanksgiving may always fall on the second Monday of October now, but starting in 1921, it was actually celebrated on November 11 (known then as Armistice Day). That was changed in 1931 to allow veterans their own day of recognition. A regular date wasn't set until 1957, though. Once Thanksgiving was moved to its own day in 1931, it was generally celebrated on the second Monday in October, although it wasn't official. It wasn't until 26 years later that Parliament officially declared that Thanksgiving would always be held that day.
Because the holiday falls on a Monday, the Thanksgiving feast may instead take place on Saturday or Sunday. Although you might expect hockey to take the place of traditional Thanksgiving Day football, football is part of Thanksgiving tradition in Canada, too.
Since the CFL's creation in 1958 to the 2018, there have been 120 games played on Thanksgiving Day. The 2019 CFL season was the first in league history to feature no games on Thanksgiving Day. The league scheduled the Classic for the 2020 CFL season, with one game being played on Thanksgiving Day.
Along with Canadian Thanksgiving comes another big celebration: Oktoberfest! There are Oktoberfest celebrations across Canada, but the one held in Kitchener-Waterloo is by far the most famous. It's actually the second-largest Oktoberfest celebration in the world (second only to Germany)!
