Canadians are known for many things, and two of them are our love for the great outdoors and our love for beer. These two passions are what make the May 24th Weekend (you may even hear us say “May Two Four”) one of the most anticipated holidays of the season.

Having lived in both Canada and the U.S., it is interesting to note the Thanksgiving tradition similarities shared by these two neighboring nations, even though the holiday falls differently on the calendar. Canada’s Thanksgiving is on the second Monday in October while the U.S. celebrates the fourth Thursday in November.

Relatives traveled from all over southern Ontario to share a turkey meal together, and after a long day of eating and drinking, we thought it would be fun to do something a bit more energetic the next day – something that would help us feel less guilty over our calorie-rich indulgences.... Read More
