Yes. Canada observes Thanksgiving on the second Monday of October each year. Key details:
- Date: Thanksgiving in Canada falls on the second Monday in October. For example, in 2025 it was October 13. In 2024 it was October 14. This timing is fixed by statute in most provinces.
- Observance: It is a national statutory holiday in most of Canada, though it is optional in some Atlantic provinces (PEI, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick) where workplaces may grant it differently; federally regulated sectors often observe it nationwide.
- Customs: Celebrations typically focus on a harvest feast with family gatherings. The tone and customs can vary by region and community, and some families celebrate on the Sunday preceding the Monday as part of their weekend, though the official holiday is Monday.
