Celine Dion, Jason Priestley, Howie Mandel, and more celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving

Five-time Grammy winner Céline Dion shared a make-up free snap of herself in a field in order to celebrate Thanksgiving in her native Canada on Monday.

‘In challenging times it’s even more important to reflect on everything that we are thankful for,’ the 52-year-old Québec pop diva – who boasts 32.8M social media followers – wrote.

‘I hope you find moments of peace, happiness, and love, today and every day. #HappyThanksgivingCanada!’ 

Céline will feast with her three children – son René-Charles Jr., 19; and fraternal twin sons Eddy and Nelson, nearly 10 – from her 21-year marriage to former manager René Angélil who died, age 73, from throat cancer in 2016.

Dion was only 12 when the twice-divorced father-of-three took her on and reportedly mortgaged his home to fund her first record La voix du bon Dieu in 1981.

The French-Canadian chanteuse will resume her postponed 121-date Courage World Tour starting with a sold-out concert March 19, 2021 at La Défense Arena in Paris.

BH90210 star Jason Priestley held his own fall festivities with second wife Naomi and their two children – daughter Ava, 13; and son Dashiell, 11 – a little earlier this year. 

The Vancouver-born 51-year-old wrote: ‘Crazy to have Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday night?? Table is set… #thanksgiving #canada #canadianthanksgiving #familytime.’

Happy Endings actress Elisha Cuthbert – who hails from Calgary – and her hockey-playing husband Dion Phaneuf celebrated at home with their two-year-old daughter Zaphire.

Four-time Grammy winner k.d. lang – who was born in Edmonton – urged her fans to make ‘a donation to the food bank of your choice’ since there are ‘a lot of folks who could use a little help.’

Two-time Emmy winner William Shatner of Québec made sure to wish his Canadian fans happy Thanksgiving and his American fans happy Indigenous People Day on Monday.  

America’s Got Talent judge Howie Mandel – who was born in Toronto – used the Canadian holiday to shamelessly promote his CTV standup comedy special But, Enough About Me airing that same night.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau acknowledged that the harvest holiday – which began in 1879 – feels ‘different’ this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

‘COVID-19 has changed all of our lives, and we’re not out of the woods yet either,’ the Ottawa-born 48-year-old politician said.   

‘But here’s the thing. Despite the many hardships through this year, there’s still reasons to be grateful. Our family, our friends, our loved ones especially. There are also countless others who we can – and should – thank this year. I’m talking about our frontline workers who are working tirelessly every single day to keep us healthy and safe.

‘The paramedics who race to be by our side in an emergency. The farmers who make sure that we have food on the table. The nurses and doctors who save lives. The grocery clers who keep the shelves stocked at our local stores. These are just somme of our everyday heroes – and we’re lucky to have them.’

As of Monday, there are reportedly 183K confirmed COVID-19 cases in all of Canada, which has lead to 9,627 deaths.
