October is a month filled with fun and joyful activities taking place around the city, such as festivals, marathons, Thanksgiving and Halloween celebrations and much more. Here you will learn about interesting traditions and make sure you don’t miss out on all the activities October brings to Toronto!

1. Marathons and Running Events

Here are some marathons and running events happening this month: •  Come to the TO Women’s Run (October 24th) and run with more than 4,500 women through Sunnybrook Park and the Toronto Park system. This is a great opportunity to run through heart of Toronto and support the Pediatric Oncology group of Ontario. •  If you love trails and mud, the Mad Dog Scramble (October 25th) across Sunnybrook Park is perfect for you! •  Put your old Halloween costumes in use at the Monster Dash (October 25th). It’s all about fun and costumes!

2. Thanksgiving Day (October 12th)

Thanksgiving Turkey [327/366]Thanksgiving is a holiday celebrated every year in Canada on the second Monday of October. On this day we celebrate the harvest and all the blessings from the past year. For Thanksgiving you may want to be with your friends and celebrate this day all together over a great turkey dinner! Another great way to spend this day would be visiting the Black Creek Pioneer Village where you can celebrate Thanksgiving just like the settlers did!
