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."

This was my reply.....
Dear Sir,
First of all, I have NEVER EVER claimed to be the original publisher of my "This Day In Canadian History...." anyone who asks are told I use Bell Sympatico's "On This Day" as a reference guide. If you want credit, no problem, I'll give you credit on my blog, which by the way is a fan site for KISS Fm and their contests, aimed at helping friends and fans win prizes that KiSS gives away by sharing daily ViP songs and bonus codes that are given out on an hourly basis every weekend. No money has ever been made off of my site which I volunteer my own time to publish and run. In no way is it endorsed by KiSS Fm and/or Rogers media!
Also, I could never ever have imagined that Canadian History or History of any kind can be trademarked or licensed....it is FREAKING history!! From a FREE site which gives it away at no charge and continues to give it away. How can you trademark and charge for history??. Where did you get it from? History books? Encyclopedias? other reference materials?
As for hurting you financially, how can that happen if you give it away and I in-turn do the same? As for reputation, how the frack can I harm yours by doing a little coping and pasting of historical material? A typo? An errant semi-colon? A hanging participle?
I used your site because it gives interesting info, tidbits, trivia about something that is poorly taught in Canadian schools....Canadian History. I could go to any number of reference sources and use them, but I chose to use yours because of it's focus on Canadian History. You should be glad I discovered your FREAKIN' site and share Canadian History with other Canadians!
The way I see it is you give it away and I in-turn also give it away. No harm, no foul. And as a result people learn history, their OWN history.
Patrick Kilmartin
P.S. - Also, for a VP of a publishing firm, you might want to mix in some Spell-Check, cause I and my FREE Spell-Check program picked up a few spelling mistakes in your letter. One would think a publishing firm VP would have experience in editing and proof-checking. Tell you what...for my "license" fee I'll head over to Best Buy or Future Shop and buy a paid version of Spell-Check and mail it to you!
