What is Thanksgiving called in Quebec?
In Québec, Thanksgiving is officially known as Jour de l'Action de grâce, which directly translates to "Day of Thanksgiving" in French. Unlike in other parts of Canada and the United States where it is celebrated in November, Thanksgiving in Québec is celebrated on the second Monday of October.
Also known as "le Thanksgiving à la canadienne" (Canadian Thanksgiving) or simply "Thanksgiving canadien" (Canadian Thanksgiving), this provincial holiday provides a long weekend for residents to enjoy fall activities, gather with family and friends, and share meals together.
