We love Thanksgiving—the fall colours, enjoying quality time with family and friends, and of course, the amazing food. There’s nothing like sitting around a table with people you love and a delicious roast turkey in the centre of it all. It doesn’t matter if you’re the type of person who prefers to keep it simple, takes a fine dining approach or smothers their plate in gravy—we wish you a holiday filled with love, gratitude and full bellies.
