This year, Thanksgiving falls on October 12th! Did you know that the history of Canadian Thanksgiving goes as far back as the 16th century, when English explorer Martin Frobisher first held a "service of thanks" after his crew's safe passage to Newfoundland? In the early 17th century, Samuel de Champlain continued the tradition by adding a harvest feast comprised of harvest food and game from local farmers. By the late 18th century, harvest meals during mid-autumn were a common staple across Canada as a way for farmers and local populations to give thanks for the food they had been able to grow/catch for winter. The Canadian government fixed the date in 1957 as the second Monday of every October.

This Thanksgiving, KPDSB wishes everyone a relaxing holiday filled with thanks and gratitude. Happy Thanksgiving!

We had an incredible day at the Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation Fall Harvest. We got to meet a 3 year old golden eagle who is used to hunt rabbits, and a 24 year old white gryfalcon. She was once used to breed and sell her babies, averaging from $10,000-$15,000 per baby. She is now retired. Then students got to participate in a variety of activities such as archery, duck plucking, cooking wild rice and watching a moose being processed. The elders and community members shared so many interesting stories and knowledge with us about the land, and how they use and respect it. Thank you so much for having us 💙
