Yes we do, we celebrate Thanksgiving on the second Monday in October. Canada's Parliament in 1957 passed this proclamation " A Day of General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed … to be observed on the 2nd Monday in October." The day is a national holiday for Canadians.
