Thanksgiving Preview
Canadian Thanksgiving is in October, which confuses Americans and makes sense to anyone who has tried to find fresh pumpkin in November in a country where winter starts in October. The turkey is ordered. The pie is planned. The debate about whether stuffing goes inside the bird or in a dish is about to destroy another family.

Animals of Sweden Day
You encounter Sweden's characteristic moose, brown bears, and European lynx throughout its forests and wilderness areas. You see that Swedish households most commonly keep dogs, cats, and rabbits as beloved household pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
