Thanksgiving Weekend in Canada: A Time for Gratitude and Gathering



This year, Canadians will celebrate Thanksgiving on Monday, October 13, 2025—a statutory holiday in most provinces and territories, with the long weekend offering a chance for families and friends to come together across the country.

Unlike its American counterpart, Canadian Thanksgiving is rooted in harvest traditions. It traces back to European harvest festivals and early explorers who gave thanks for safe voyages and abundant crops. Today, it’s less about shopping frenzies and more about reflection, gratitude, and enjoying the beauty of autumn.

How Canadians Celebrate

  • Family Meals: Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie remain staples, though regional twists—like butter tarts in Ontario or salmon on the West Coast—add local flavor.
  • Outdoor Traditions: With fall foliage at its peak, many Canadians spend the weekend hiking, apple picking, or enjoying the crisp air before winter sets in.
  • Community Spirit: Food drives, volunteer events, and community dinners highlight the holiday’s focus on sharing abundance with those in need.

As Canadians prepare for the long weekend, Thanksgiving serves as a reminder to pause and appreciate life’s blessings—whether that’s a bountiful harvest, time with loved ones, or simply the beauty of the season.
