What is Thanksgiving?
In Canada, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October every year. Canada celebrates Thanksgiving in celebration of a successful harvest. We celebrate due to the harvest instead of Pilgrims and settling in a new world because of the simple fact that the harvest happens earlier in Canada than the U.S.

                                     What is Thanksgiving to me and my family?
Thanksgiving is a day off work and school for my family. Usually with a big turkey dinner on the Sunday before Thanksgiving Monday with the leftovers for dinner on the Monday. I always enjoy thanksgiving just because the dinners are always the best dinners of the year. They always have great recipes like this.

Terry Fox Foundation

Terrance Stanley Fox (Terry Fox) was born July 28^th 1958, He was just another average teenage athlete growing up in high school with a dream of playing basketball. One day his coach recommended Terry trying cross country running. That was the beginning of Terry Fox' s story.

     In 1977 Terry Fox found out he had osteosarcoma cancer and had to have his right leg amputated. After three years of winning wheelchair basketball national championships he started the marathon of hope. The marathon of hope was a cross-country run to raise money for cancer research. Terry Fox hoped to raise a total of 24 million dollars which would be 1 dollar per Canadian.

     He started the marathon of Hope April 12^th 1980 in St. Johns, Newfoundland. Every day he ran 42 kilometers, which is equivalent to a marathon a day. Terry hoped to run from St. Johns all the way to Victoria, British Columbia. Sadly However, while running through Ontario, Terry found out the cancer had spread to his lungs and was forced to stop the running. His hopes of completing the marathon ended when he died of the cancer June 28^th, 1981 in Thunder Bay.

    To this day annual Terry Fox runs are still held around the country in memory of Terry Fox and in hope to raise enough money for cancer research to end cancer. Terry Fox will always be remembered as one of the most amazing Canadians of all time.If you would like to learn more about Terry Fox I have supplied a link here.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Fox

Info Tech9

I think information technology is a class in which we will learn how to operate computers correctly. . While using programs such as powerpoint or microsoft word, we will learn how to use new and interesting fonts and features. Info tech class will hopefully teach me how to use a computer the way it was meant to be used.I also think we will learn how to use the computers to their full abilities.
