Thanksgiving in Canada: what are we really celebrating?

Posted on by

Have you ever wondered what Thanksgiving is actually about in Canada? I’ve found myself asking that a lot. Is it more than just a big family dinner or a long weekend? Let’s dig into it a bit and see…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This year actually, was my second time celebrating Thanksgiving here, so I decided to do some research and share what I found. Spoiler alert: it’s way more complicated than just a meal, and for some people, it holds different and sometimes even uncomfortable… meanings. 😬

While many people gather around tables full of food, others ask: what exactly are we giving thanks for? Honestly, I was one of those people this year. LOL.

During my research, I learned that even some Canadians, especially certain Indigenous communities and parts of Quebec, either don’t celebrate it at all or do so in their own way. But let’s not get too bogged down in the intro. Here’s what you came for…

 

 

 

 

Thanksgiving in Canada has some pretty unique roots compared to other countries. And, to be real, despite what a lot of people think (that it all started in the U.S. and Canada just followed), Canada actually celebrated Thanksgiving first. The very first Thanksgiving in North America happened in 1578 when Sir Martin Frobisher and his crew, after surviving a rough journey through the Arctic, held a ceremony in Newfoundland to give thanks for their safety and blessings.

Fast forward to 1879, Thanksgiving officially became a national holiday in Canada, but it was celebrated on different dates for a while.

Then, in 1957, they decided to stick with the second Monday of October to align with the end of the harvest season, since it wraps up earlier here because of the cooler climate.

So yeah, Thanksgiving in Canada is about gratitude, for a lot of people, it’s a time to reflect on their achievements, recognize the challenges they’ve overcome, and appreciate their lives and relationships. In places like Vancouver, where nature is a huge part of the culture, I saw on Instagram many people use the long weekend to get outside, go hiking, or spend time with family in the great outdoors.

For me, celebrating Thanksgiving in Vancouver for the second time felt really special and super different from what I’m used to back home in Brazil. Thanksgiving isn’t a thing in Brazil, so it’s been cool to dive into a tradition.

This year, my wife and I wanted to do something unique, so we spent the day cooking together. We decided to add some Brazilian flavors, like salpicão, farofa, and seafood… Dishes that remind us of home. It was really fun!

Later on, we had some dinner with some friends and each of us shared what we were grateful for, which got me thinking about all the good things that have happened this year, even with the daily challenges we all face.

Now, while Thanksgiving is popular across most of Canada, not everyone celebrates it the same way… Or at all. Take Quebec, for example. Many people there don’t really view it as a big deal. They’ve got their own cultural traditions, like Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day, which carries way more emotional and symbolic weight. Because of this, Thanksgiving might pass by with little fanfare or even be skipped entirely by some.

Here’s something that might surprise you, though. When you compare it to the U.S., Canadian Thanksgiving feels a bit different. In the U.S., the Thanksgiving story from 1621, when the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag shared a meal… Is often seen as a symbol of unity. But the reality is that this narrative hides layers of violence and oppression that followed. Colonists took Indigenous land, fought wars, and enacted cultural genocide, which devastated Native communities.

Even though Canadian Thanksgiving doesn’t carry the same dark history tied to Plymouth, the colonization of Canada also has a legacy of injustice and oppression toward Indigenous people.

So for some, Thanksgiving here can also be a time to reflect on the impacts of colonization and what that means for Indigenous communities today.

At its core, Thanksgiving in Canada is a holiday full of layers. For many, it’s about gathering with family, sharing a meal, and expressing gratitude for life’s blessings.

So now that you know a bit more about the history of Thanksgiving here in Canada, let me know what stood out to you. What did you already know? How did your day go yesterday?

Breaking the Ice: Jessica Campbell Makes History as NHL’s First Female Coach

If you haven’t been following the start of the NHL season these days you might be missing out, but one of the news stories that has been buzzing these days was about Jessica Campbell. Wait? Don’t know who she is? Don’t worry, I’ll tell you now.

Alright… This woman last week made her official debut as the first woman to hold a coaching position in NHL history, taking on the role of coach with the Seattle Kraken. Pretty amazing, right?

But first, let’s dive into something important… Who exactly is Jessica Campbell?

If you do not know who is she and know nothing about her career, Jessica Campbell has been paving the way for years, long before stepping onto the NHL stage. Just check out some of her biggest achievements:

– 2-time medalist at the Women’s U18 World Championships (2009, 2010)
– Silver medalist at the 2015 Women’s World Championship, repping Team Canada
– The first woman to coach in the AHL (American Hockey League) as an assistant coach for the Coachella Valley Firebirds
– And now, the first woman officially coaching in the NHL

These milestones don’t just highlight her talent and skills… They’re also a huge win for the growing recognition of women’s potential in pro hockey. For years, the sport was dominated by men, especially when it came to leadership roles on the bench.

Jessica’s debut isn’t just about getting an Assistant coaching job, it’s about shaking things up. Her presence in the NHL represents a big cultural shift. It’s not new to anyone that for decades, women have been fighting for equal representation in sports, am I right? Not just as athletes, but also as leaders and decision-makers. Jessica’s appointment is a sign of progress in a league that, like many others, has historically kept women out of these roles.

Her leadership brings a fresh perspective to a space traditionally run by men, showing that coaching is about knowledge, strategy, and inspiring a team… Qualities that go way beyond gender.

I want to pause for a second to recognize something important here… It’s so crucial to support and celebrate women who break barriers in traditionally male-dominated spaces. Jessica Campbell’s achievement isn’t just her own; it’s a win for everyone who believes in creating equal opportunities and opening doors that have been closed for way too long.

Her success highlights how women in sports, and beyond are stepping up and leading in ways that are changing entire industries, and her impact is already stretching far beyond the NHL.

And you know what? Jessica’s not alone. There’s a growing list of women making history in their own fields. I did a little digging and here are a few names you should know:

Becky Hammon: The first woman to be a full-time assistant coach in the NBA, and later led the Las Vegas Aces to their first championship as head coach in the WNBA.

Katie Sowers: The first female and openly gay coach to reach the Super Bowl, as an offensive assistant with the San Francisco 49ers.

Sarah Thomas: The first female referee to officiate a Super Bowl, marking a huge moment in NFL history.

Each of these women, like Campbell, is breaking the barriers of sport, paving the way for future generations of female athletes, coaches, and leaders.

While Jessica’s historic debut is centered on the NHL, the bigger picture here is hard to ignore. The world of sports is going through a cultural shift. She may be the first woman to coach in the NHL, but her influence is going to ripple far beyond the rink.

The next generation of athletes, coaches, and fans will grow up in a world where seeing a woman on the bench won’t be a rare sight… It’ll be normal. And that’s the real win here.

So, what do you think about Jessica Campbell’s making herstory! 🎉 ? Do you think we’ll see more women like her soon?

Unlocking the power of rituals: What athletes and fans do before the big game!

Posted on by

It’s the first seasonal game day for Canucks today, and while heading to the BCIT Radio Arts HQ, I saw tons of fans repping their Canucks jerseys, ready to cheer. And it got me thinking… Don’t we all have our little rituals before something big?

The anticipation, adrenaline, nerves… But have you ever wondered why so many players and fans have these specific routines before a game? It’s not just superstition! I think it’s about focus, energy, and connecting to something bigger. As my professor, Brian once said, “it’s about feeling like you belong”. Whether it’s a personal habit or a tradition passed down, these rituals are a powerful way to get in the zone.

So, I did a little research and wanted to take you on a quick dive into the world of pre-game rituals. Let’s explore why they matter… From what athletes do before hitting the field to the quirky habits fans swear to bring their team luck.

I’m from Brazil and I was remember about 10 years ago, when Neymar was just blowing up in Brazil. He and his dad had this ritual before every big game where they’d have a special conversation. Seeing that bond even inspired Beats to make a whole commercial about it. Check it out:

(Pretty cool, right? I love stuff like this that shows we’re all in it together, haha.)

Honestly, sports aren’t that different from life. Players, fans, and even regular people rely on these routines to focus and feel ready for anything. Some might seem random or funny, but they often hold deep personal or cultural meaning.

Take Andrei Kuzmenko for example. Back when he played for Canucks, he used to read the team lineup before the game. It wasn’t just a job; it was his way of connecting with the team and getting in the right mindset to win. Little things like this can make all the difference, in my opinion.

Now, let’s talk about us… The fans. We’ve got our own rituals, too! Whether it’s wearing the same jersey for every game or sitting in a specific spot on the couch, we create an atmosphere full of energy, ready to back our team. At the stadium, it’s even bigger, right? Fans show up in team colors, waving flags, or chanting in unison. It’s more than just watching… It’s part of the experience.

Fans really believe they can influence the game, even if it’s just through the energy they bring.

And now I ask, why are rituals so important? On the surface, they might seem like habits or even superstitions, but there’s more to it. Rituals give a sense of control when the outcome feels uncertain… Like the unpredictability of a game.

For athletes, rituals help reduce anxiety and boost focus, giving them that mental edge. For fans, these traditions create a connection and make them feel like they’re part of the action.

Whether it’s Kuzmenko reading the lineup or Neymar’s moments with his dad, these rituals are at the heart of sports, music, and life. They’re not just habits they’re powerful tools for preparation and success. Don’t you agree?

Now, I want to hear from you! What’s your ritual?

Do you have a pre-game routine or something you do before a big something?

Let me know in the comments! 😉

Is everything really okay?

Let’s just take a break from the sports and the other good stuff and let’s be real for a second… Doesn’t it sometimes feel like life expects us to be at 1000% all the time?

Like, from the moment we wake up to the second we go to sleep at night, it’s just non-stop pressure. And let me tell you, that kind of pressure can really mess with your head. For me, it led to a lot of anxiety, which I never asked for, but somehow ended up dealing with anyway.

At first, I tried to shrug it off, thinking that if I was “strong” enough, I could just power through it. Spoiler alert: that didn’t work. If you’ve ever found yourself feeling like you’re the only one going through this… Guess what? You’re definitely not alone!

Anxiety is more common than you think. It actually affects about 1 in every 14 people around the world. But here’s the kicker: most of them suffer in silence because they’re too afraid or embarrassed to ask for help.

 

Anxiety isn’t just that jittery feeling you get before a big event. Oh no, for me, it was this constant, nagging presence that made even the simplest tasks feel like climbing Mount Everest. I’d feel totally stuck, overwhelmed by fear and self-doubt, and honestly, it made me super angry at myself.

But hey, I’m not here just to talk about the rough stuff. The good news is, I found ways to deal with it. One of the biggest game-changers for me was therapy. Having someone to talk to who actually gets it and can help you navigate your thoughts? Total lifesaver. And trust me, I used to be one of those people who thought therapy wasn’t for me. Now? I’d recommend it to anyone—even the dog I don’t have yet, haha.

On top of that, I also found CrossFit to be my escape. I know it sounds random, right? But seriously, being able to channel all that built-up tension into something physical really helped me reset.

Here’s the thing though: mental health is a super personal journey. What worked for me might not work for you, and that’s okay! The point is to start somewhere. Whether it’s therapy, talking to a friend, or finding your own way to manage stress—just don’t let it take over your life. You’re not in this alone.

Oh, and if you’re curious, I stumbled across this mental health expert named Olivia Remes from Cambridge University while I was deep-diving into anxiety. She’s awesome and really drives home the fact that anxiety isn’t something that just goes away. It takes work, attention, and sometimes, a little help from others.

But honestly? The bravest thing you can do is take that first step.

Big read, right? I know. But if stayed with me until here… Do something. Don’t let anxiety keep you stuck. And remember, asking for help isn’t a weakness… It’s straight-up bravery.

Now, I gotta ask… How are you doing so far? Seriously, drop me a comment, I’d love to chat. 😊

Netflix Surprises by Announcing NFL Christmas Game Broadcasts for the Next 3 Years!

OMG… Netflix is really shaking things up in the sports world. They just announced a partnership with the NFL to broadcast games on Christmas Day for the next three years.

For fans who love combining the holiday spirit with the excitement of football, this is amazing news. The announcement was made recently, marking another big win for the streaming giant.

Mike North from the NFL explained that Christmas games were not part of the original plan for the 2024 regular season. However, the rising audience numbers and the interest from broadcast partners changed things. Last year, the Christmas game viewership was incredible, averaging 28.68 million viewers. Fans made it clear they want more games on this special day.

This Christmas, Netflix will air two games, and at least one game in 2025 and 2026. This year, the first game will feature the current Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, playing against the Pittsburgh Steelers at 10 AM (Vancouver time). Then, we’ll have the Baltimore Ravens against the Houston Texans at 1:30 PM. This will be only the third time since 1950 that the NFL will play on a Wednesday.

Since 1971, the NFL has played 30 Christmas Day games, but most avoided weekdays. The success of past games, especially last year’s numbers, showed the NFL that there is a huge demand. With Christmas falling on a Thursday in 2025, we expect Netflix and Amazon to broadcast one game each. In 2026, which falls on a Friday, we are looking forward to at least two games.

Jeff Miller, the NFL’s Executive Vice President of Communications, Public Affairs, and Policy, highlighted the importance of this partnership for expanding the sport’s global audience. Netflix, with its 270 million paid subscribers in over 190 countries, is the perfect partner for this mission.

Hans Schroeder, Executive Vice President of NFL Media, mentioned that the teams playing on Christmas will have their Week 16 games on the previous Saturday, giving them enough preparation time. The last time the league played on a Wednesday was December 2, 2020, due to COVID-19 pandemic adjustments.

Although Netflix started venturing into live broadcasts last year with golf and tennis events, this partnership with the NFL is a big step. The company will also broadcast the fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul on July 20, showing its commitment to expanding its sports portfolio.

For NFL fans, this news promises to bring even more excitement to the holiday season. What do you think about this news? Comment below!
