Thanksgiving celebrated in Canada on the second Monday in October each year. Canada celebrates Thanksgiving Day a month before the United States. It is celebrated to thank God Almighty for a rich harvest. The reason for the difference is geographical; autumn season starts earlier in Canada than in America. The first Canadian thanksgiving was celebrated April 15, 1872 to give thanks for the recovery of King Edward VII from a serious illnessand after 7 years, Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1879 on Thursday.

Between 1899 and 1904 was celebrated on a Thursday in October. There was then a party on a Monday in October, the period between 1908 and 1921. Then 19 years was celebrated on "Armistice Day" until Parliament announced the second Monday inMonth of October as "official" Thanksgiving Day ". After he declared" a day of general thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed.
