Canadian Thanksgiving custody schedule for two homes
How co-parents share Canadian Thanksgiving: the common arrangements, the dates from 2026 to 2031, and who has it when you alternate by odd and even years.
Common ways to share it
- Alternate the whole long weekend every year
- Split the weekend: Saturday and Sunday at one home, Monday dinner at the other
- Thanksgiving dinner at one home and the rest of the weekend at the other, swapping each year
- Keep the regular schedule and add a second meal on another day
The dates, and who has it
| Year | Dates | Even years Home A, odd years Home B |

| 2027 | Friday after school to Monday evening (Fri, Oct 8, 2027 to Mon, Oct 11, 2027) | Home B |

Canadian Thanksgiving is the second Monday of October. Your own parenting plan decides the times.
In TaskFamily, Canadian Thanksgiving becomes an exception that overrides the usual two-homes schedule for those days, so both homes and the children see where they will be. Swap requests need the other parent's approval and go into the record.
Free for one household. The Co-parent plan covers both homes for $19 a month - $9.50 each when two parents split it.
