Canadians are gearing up for Thanksgiving weekend with higher grocery bills, as multiple outlets report turkey and feast costs are on the rise. Shoppers are spending more on holiday staples, with CityNews Calgary and Global News both noting the growing strain on household budgets.
Parts of the Prairies could see up to 10 cm of snow over the long weekend, complicating holiday travel. The OPP warns Thanksgiving is one of the most dangerous long weekends for road fatalities in Ontario. Motorists should plan ahead and allow extra time before hitting the road.
On a lighter note, fall colours are peaking in Gatineau Park, attracting crowds to the area before the season turns.
