It’s the Thanksgiving Long Weekend! In Canada, Thanksgiving takes place on the second Monday in October, as opposed to American Thanksgiving, which happens on the last Thursday in November. As with the American version, there’s a family get-together, traditionally with turkey and the usual accoutrements.
