A different Thanksgiving His favorite sports: ice hockey and lacrosse
Canadian Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of
October, rather than in November, which is when it is celebrated in
the United States. The reason for the change is that, being further
north than the USA, the crops are harvested earlier due to the
weather.
It is a special day in which Canadians gather as a family to enjoy a
good dinner to commemorate the traditional autumn harvest, and
give thanks for the privileges in their lives. They do the latter in
turns when they are sitting at the table.
Sport is very present in the life of Canadians. We could say that it is
a key aspect of the customs of this country. If you like sports, here
you will enjoy a lot!
The national sports are ice hockey and lacrosse, which is practiced
in summer. Since they are young, Canadians learn to play hockey, as
both in school and university there are ice hockey leagues in which
students are fully involved. The National Hockey League (NHL)
attracts millions of viewers.
 The Alberta Stampede
The Stampede is a festival that takes place in July in Calgary. It is
one of the most famous Canadian traditions, attended by many
locals dressed in typical cowboy attire. In this festival there are
races, games, exhibitions, rodeos and parades, all very typical of
western movies. Yeehaw!
