What Happened

Why It Matters
Canadian Thanksgiving arrives over a month before the American holiday, making Canadian grocery chains the first in North America to roll out major holiday meal bundle deals.
Who Is Affected
Canadian families planning Thanksgiving dinners and holiday gatherings across the country.
