Information on Canadian pardons can be found at Canada's official government website. Further information may be obtained elsewhere online, however this information may be inaccurate. One may also contact their local government office to obtain public records of pardons, and information on how to obtain a pardon.
Absolutely. Even a minor conviction prevents people from getting scores of jobs, volunteer opportunities etc. Pardons in Canada seal a criminal record and are an effective remedy to this problem.
the "Pardons" are traditional Christian celebrations you can see in Brittany, in western France.
Canada doesn't have a president, but it has a Queen whose functions are normally exercised by a Governor General. Whereas the US President can grant a pardon for any federal offense, arbitrarily, the Governor General exercises clemency on the advice of a government minister and only in exceptional circumstances. Most criminal pardons in Canada are granted by the Parole Board of Canada. They serve only to make a criminal record inaccessible after a person has finished their sentence.

who was the president that declared Thanksgiving a holiday
The President of the US can grant pardons for Federal Crimes.
"Excuse me" is a very common sentence, but there is also "Pardon me". Pardon me, Roy, is that the Chattanooga choo-choo?
The President makes a Thanksgiving Proclamation every year. ( http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2014/11/26/presidential-proclamation-thanksgiving-day-2014 is a site for the 2014 proclamation.)In recent years, it has become customary for the National Turkey Federation to give the President a large turkey which he pardons and sends to a farm to live out its natural life.
The Government is tripling the pardons fees from $50 to $150!

They are not pardons. They are called indulgences and they can be earned by pious acts and will shorten or eliminate time in Purgatory.
Well not the Reprieves but he has the power to grant Pardons.
