Final answer:
Canada's Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October, in contrast to the American Thanksgiving which occurs on the fourth Thursday of November.
Step-by-step explanation:
Canada celebrates Thanksgiving on the second Monday of October. This is different from the United States, where Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. The first Thanksgiving in North America, often referenced with the Pilgrims in 1621, featured a feast with venison, fish, fowl, and beer, shared between the settlers and the Native Americans.
It is noted by historians like Nathaniel Philbrick that the feast likely did not include foods commonly associated with modern Thanksgiving, such as pumpkin pie or cranberry sauce. Canadians have their own traditions and foods for their Thanksgiving celebration, which falls earlier in the autumn season.
