It is one of the biggest festivals in Canada. The story behind celebrating this festival in Canada is different. Here the celebration of thanksgiving is for safely homecoming and not for harvest. Martin Frobisher was trying to find Northern passage to go to Pacific Ocean and after facing so many difficulties he was finally able to come back at home safely and from there people started celebrating this festival.
