Guest guest Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 Happy Thanksgiving, Tracey! I know this is a totally lame question, but Americans learn next to nothing about Canadian history. We have our Thanksgiving story with the Pilgrims and natives...what is the Canadian story?

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 Thanks I cut and pasted a site that explains it much better than I could. Hope this explains it for you. We are having a beautiful warm Thanksgiving weekend here and I am loving it!!!! Tracey Canadian Thanksgiving The origins of Canadian Thanksgiving are more closely connected to the traditions of Europe than of the United States. Long before Europeans settled in North America, festivals of thanks and celebrations of harvest took place in Europe in the month of October. The very first Thanksgiving celebration in North America took place in Canada when Frobisher, an explorer from England, arrived in Newfoundland in 1578. He wanted to give thanks for his safe arrival to the New World. That means the first Thanksgiving in Canada was celebrated 43 years before the pilgrims landed in Plymouth, Massachusetts! For a few hundred years, Thanksgiving was celebrated in either late October or early November, before it was declared a national holiday in 1879. It was then, that November 6th was set aside as the official Thanksgiving holiday. But then on January 31, 1957, Canadian Parliament announced that on the second Monday in October, Thanksgiving would be " a day of general thanksgiving to almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Harvest Season Canada has been blessed. " Thanksgiving was moved to the second Monday in October because after the World Wars, Remembrance Day (November 11th) and Thanksgiving kept falling in the same week. Another reason for Canadian Thanksgiving arriving earlier than its American counterpart is that Canada is geographically further north than the United States, causing the Canadian harvest season to arrive earlier than the American harvest season. And since Thanksgiving for Canadians is more about giving thanks for the harvest season than the arrival of pilgrims, it makes sense to celebrate the holiday in October. So what are the differences between Canadian and American Thanksgiving, other than the date? Not much! Both Canadians and Americans celebrate Thanksgiving with parades, family gatherings, pumpkin pie and a whole lot of turkey! What will you be doing to celebrate Thanksgiving this year? Do you Re: Happy Thanksgiving Happy Thanksgiving, Tracey! I know this is a totally lame question, but Americans learn next to nothing about Canadian history. We have our Thanksgiving story with the Pilgrims and natives...what is the Canadian story?

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Hi I have taken both courses. U of Tennessee is way more theory, larger classes and limited hands on stuff. A good foundational course for veterinarians but when you are finished you are in no way ready to do rehab. Animal Rehab Institute is excellent--great mixture of theory and practicality--I loved the anatomy in clay, I actually remembered where all the muscles went! I appreciated the fact it was taught by those who actually do rehab. I absolutely loved this course! If you have specific questions I would be happier to talk to you privately.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Hello everybody, I know the two treadmills. I used the water walker for 4 years and I don't find it a good one. After 4 years it looks like a swiss cheese. The reservoir has many spots of corrosion. The HP 200 is a nice treadmill. Very beautiful design but the speed is not fast enough to get a dog in shape. In Belgium (where I have my practice) it's a very expensive treadmill. 35.000 euro. For less amount of money you can find a treadmill with a system so that dogs can walk uphill.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 , If you need more information after you speak to about the HP200, I've been using one for the last 1 1/2 years and I'm very pleased. Feel free to give me a call. I'm in Virginia 757 253-0812. As far as courses are concerned, I was certified by the CRI program in Florida and would highly recommend it. The classes are small, there is very dynamic interaction between the participants, both PT's and Vets, and there's plenty of hands on. Also, there are additional more advanced courses offered . Hope that helps, Meryl Lessinger, VMD CVA CCRT Re: Re: Happy Thanksgiving , I have spend the last few months researching UWTM options.
