I-Connect007 recognizes Thanksgiving Day and its office will be closed Nov. 27–28, 2025.
The Thanksgiving holidays, as celebrated across North America, trace their roots to early harvest celebrations, expressions of gratitude, and moments of national significance. In Canada, Thanksgiving is often linked to explorer Martin Frobisher’s 1578 Arctic expedition, where he held a ceremony giving thanks for a safe passage—decades before the Pilgrims arrived in North America.
Over time, traditions and festivals blended, and the holiday evolved into a national day of gratitude for the harvest season. Canada officially established Thanksgiving as a national holiday in 1879, later fixing the date to the second Monday in October.
In the United States, Thanksgiving is most commonly associated with the 1621 feast shared by the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people in Plymouth (now in Massachusetts). Although sporadically celebrated afterward, it gained national prominence during the Civil War when President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed it a national holiday in 1863, emphasizing unity and gratitude. Today, both nations celebrate with feasts, family gatherings, and reflection.
The I-Connect007 staff will be taking this day to gather with friends and loved ones. Wherever you are, we wish you all a prosperous and joyful day this year.
