A Ceremony in Gander

Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador held a ceremony on September 11 to mark the anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks, an event the town has a unique connection to after taking in thousands of stranded air travellers when U.S. airspace closed that day.

'A Sometimes Broken World'

Speaking at the ceremony, Gander's mayor said communities can still make a difference in what he called a "sometimes broken world," a message tied to the town's own history of stepping up in a crisis.

Further details on the ceremony, including attendance and additional remarks, have not been reported.
