 Introduction

Canadian Thanksgiving is a time for

Canadians to come together to celebrate
their blessings and to give thanks for the
good things in their lives. It is a time to
appreciate the bounty of the harvest and
to express gratitude for the people who
have helped them along the way.
 When Is Canadian
Thanksgiving

The origins of Canadian Thanksgiving date back to the

early 1600s, when French settlers in Canada held a
feast of thanksgiving to celebrate their safe arrival in
the New World. Over time, this tradition evolved and
became an annual event, with Thanksgiving officially
recognized as a national holiday in Canada in 1879.
 History

Canadian Thanksgiving has its roots in the

European harvest festivals and has been
celebrated in Canada for centuries. The
holiday has been officially celebrated as a
national holiday since 1879, although its
origins can be traced back even further.

Roast turkey is a traditional and popular main course dish
that is often served during festive occasions such as
Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other holidays. It involves
cooking a whole turkey in an oven after seasoning it with
herbs, butter, and spices. The turkey is typically roasted at
a low to medium temperature for several hours until it's

Honey-glazed ham is a dish made from a cured,

precooked ham that is coated with a sweet, sticky
glaze made from honey, brown sugar, and other
flavorful ingredients. The ham is typically spiral-

flavor.

seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices, and then
roasted at a low to medium temperature for several hours

meat, dairy, and eggs. This type of dish is suitable for people who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet,
which excludes animal products for ethical, environmental, or health reasons.
 Blessings

In many cultures, blessings are a way to express

gratitude and appreciation for the things that we
have, as well as to seek protection, healing, or
guidance. They can also be a way to connect with
a higher power or to honor ancestors or spiritual
traditions.
