Volunteer with us by creating Thanksgiving cards!
A little about Thanksgiving…
A celebration of the harvest festival, Thanksgiving brings about an opportunity to acknowledge and cherish the people around us. Held on October 10th, we use this holiday to bring people together to enjoy good food, as well as each others’ company. Within Canada, the first Thanksgiving was declared in 1957, where Vincent Massey stated that a “thank you to the gods” was needed to show gratefulness for the bountiful harvest of crops.
