Thanksgiving in Canada goes back to an explorer, Martin Frobisher, who had been trying to find a northern passage to the Orient. In the year 1578, he held a formal ceremony, in what is now the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, to give thanks for surviving the long journey.

At the same time, French settlers, having crossed the ocean and arrived in Canada with explorer Samuel de Champlain, also held huge feasts of thanks. They even formed 'The Order of Good Cheer' and gladly shared their food with their First Nations neighbours.

The first Thanksgiving Day after Canadian Confederation was observed as a civic holiday on April 5, 1872 to celebrate the recovery of the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) from a serious illness.

Starting in 1879 Thanksgiving Day was observed every year but the date was proclaimed annually and changed year to year. The theme of the Thanksgiving holiday also changed year to year to reflect an important event to be thankful for. In the early years it was for an abundant harvest and occasionally for a special anniversary.

On January 31, 1957, the Canadian Parliament proclaimed: "A Day of General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed … to be observed on the 2nd Monday in October."

Just wanted to add I have actually been listening to KISS on my MP3 player while on the lawn tractor these past few days working but no way I could ever get into the house to punch in the codes on the computer in time. Next year will look at getting an iPad fitted onto the tractor.......

Question for you guys... I went to purchase more entries with points on the Kiss Club website but the Draw site shows the WestJet Winning Weekend draw as "ended" but they are still giving out codes today (obviously). I have sent a message through the website contact page but being a holiday I doubt that will go anywhere today. Any of you have a better idea on how to let them know?
