Every year during the Fall season is the festival holiday of Thanksgiving, celebrated worldwide by many countries, sometimes on different dates.
For today’s celebration in Canada, MY ASL Dictionary’s 2013 cartoon of a Toronto baseball fan illustrates the ASL hand signs for THANK YOU.
Fingers of the Flat hand near the lips or by the chin arc down towards the person being thanked, like taking gratitude from the lips to give to another.
Happy Thanksgiving!

The Canadian Celebration of the Harvest Festival is the Second Monday of October. The First Thanksgiving for Canada was held in 1578 by Martin Frobisher and his crew in the Eastern Arctic to celebrate and give thanks for their safe arrival at the port of Nunavut.
For this reference, My ASL Dictionary has a cartoon of Martin Frobisher illustrating one of the ASL hand signs for THANKSGIVING.
Both hands sign THANK YOU in a double arc, a combination of the ASL hand signs for THANKS and GIVE.

The American Celebration of the Harvest Festival is the Fourth Thursday of November. The First Thanksgiving for America is the popular pilgrim story of the 1621 Fall Harvest Feast celebrated by the Citizens of Plymouth Colony and the Native Americans of the Wampanoag Confederacy.
For this reference, My ASL Dictionary has a young man in a Pilgrim costume with a bow tie showing one of the ASL hand signs for THANKSGIVING.
Similar to the hand sign for TURKEY (a Thanksgiving Dish), the Q hand is moved from chin to chest, like the wattle on a turkey.
