Quick answer: Happy Canadian Thanksgiving — Monday 12 October 2026. However you gathered, Pierina’s MAPAQ kitchen at 3954 Bd Leman, Laval still runs two everyday paths tomorrow: the weekly menu (next list locks Wednesday 11:59 p.m.) and the permanent menu any day. Leftovers from drop-off trays or Family portions live in the fridge in grams and 900 ml — not kilograms. No subscription.
Today’s table vs tomorrow’s stove
Some Montreal tables used drop-off catering pans. Others cooked. Many mixed Pierina sides with their own mains — we never claimed a turkey SKU. What matters tonight: labeled containers, safe cooling, and honest space for the week ahead.
Catering was drop-off, not servers in a banquet hall. Office hours Mon–Fri 10:00–3:00 were never the meal window — only planning.
Leftovers without guilt
Homemade trays reheat like weekly food because they are the same line. Portion in mind: Family weekly serves four; catering pans were sized from per-person guidance. Soup at 900 ml becomes Tuesday lunch. Pasta becomes Wednesday with salad from assemble your salad if you still have greens.
Next weekly clock — holiday does not pause Wednesday
The long weekend does not move the weekly cutoff. Wednesday 15 October 2026 still closes at 11:59 p.m. America/Montreal for the next Sunday cook. Pickup remains Sunday 4:00–7:00 p.m. only in Laval. Delivery ~50 km Sunday or Wednesday 3:00–7:00 p.m.
| After today | Action |
|---|---|
| Tuesday 13 Oct | Eat leftovers + permanent menu if you need a fresh plate |
| Wednesday 15 Oct 11:59 p.m. | Lock next weekly menu |
| Sunday pickup | Next cook day 4:00–7:00 p.m. Laval |
Permanent menu on a stat holiday
Permanent list opened 1 October — order when the store accepts checkout, independent of weekly rotation. Useful when Thanksgiving leftovers are turkey-heavy (yours) but you want pasta from Laval on Tuesday in Saint-Laurent or Boucherville within delivery pins on the zones guide.

A quiet thank-you from the kitchen
However you celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving today, the team at 3954 Bd Leman keeps cooking for the city’s ordinary weeks — weekly rotation, permanent favourites, quoted trays. We are grateful when homemade lands on Montreal tables without a factory story.
Leftovers safety and portions
Cool trays quickly, label dates, reheat to steaming. Catering leftovers were sized from per-person guidance; weekly Family was sized for four in grams. Soup at 900 ml freezes well in millilitre-minded containers.
Wednesday 15 October lock
In three days the weekly menu closes again at 11:59 p.m. If today was only leftovers, open the weekly menu before Wednesday night — or lean on Our Menu until you are ready.
No fiction about reviews or volumes
We do not invent customer counts or star ratings in blog posts. The proof is the MAPAQ address, the clocks, and the food on your counter.
Thanksgiving Monday: what happens in the kitchen
Canadian Thanksgiving is today — 12 October 2026. Weekly production continues on its calendar; catering appointments run on quoted dates; permanent menu accepts orders when the store is open. There is no special “holiday pickup” day at the Laval counter unless your written quote schedules it.
Tonight, plan Wednesday 15 October 11:59 p.m. if you want next Sunday’s cook. Leftovers from today plus a permanent Individual plate tomorrow is a normal Montreal week — not a failure of hosting.
FAQ: Thanksgiving homemade meals Montreal
Is the kitchen open for pickup today Monday?
Weekly pickup is Sunday 4:00–7:00 p.m. only unless a catering quote scheduled Monday — default is not Monday weekly pickup.
Can I order weekly today for this past Sunday?
No — that cook closed at last Wednesday 11:59 p.m.
Do leftovers mean I skip Wednesday lock?
Only if leftovers cover your whole week — most households reorder.
Compare weekly and permanent?
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving from the Laval kitchen — however today’s table looked, leftovers and next week’s Wednesday lock are already sharing the calendar with permanent menu orders any day. Drop-off catering was never banquet service; weekly pickup remains Sunday only. Good planning beats an 8:00 p.m. courier when Tuesday returns.
From one Laval stove to Greater Montreal tables

Delivery runs within about 50 km on Sunday if you select it, or Wednesday 3:00–7:00 p.m. — not Wednesday pickup at the counter.

If you are reading this on Thanksgiving Monday, the weekly menu for next Sunday still depends on Wednesday 11:59 p.m. — plan before leftovers disappear. Corporate teams returning Tuesday can quote November drop-off separately from Family retail portions.
Good food brings people together. However today felt — from Laval, thank you for putting homemade on the table. Tomorrow is leftovers, permanent favourites, and a Wednesday lock that still waits on the calendar.
