Happy Columbus Day / Canadian Thanksgiving Day

Happy Columbus Day to our nation's bankers and Italian-Americans.  Happy Thanksgiving to our neighbors to the north.  Are there traditional CFL games on the Canadian version of the holiday? Oh, wait, here's the answer:
Similar to the United States, traditions such as parades and football can be a part of Canadian Thanksgiving. The Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest parade is the most widely known Canadian Thanksgiving Day parade and is broadcast nationwide on CTV. The Canadian Football League holds a nationally televised doubleheader known as the "Thanksgiving Day Classic". It is one of two weeks in which the league plays on Monday afternoons, the other being the Labour Day Classic. Unlike the Labour Day games, the teams that play on the Thanksgiving Day Classic vary each year.
I guess that answers that.
