Gander, N.L. – The 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks will be commemorated by U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra and other dignitaries visiting central Newfoundland this month. Gander hosted thousands of stranded travelers when the U.S. closed its airspace and grounded numerous flights, marking the town's connection to the tragedy.
Mayor Percy Farwell emphasized the event's focus on remembrance and acknowledging the town's role in providing shelter, food, and emotional support to those in distress. The town, which has been fully booked for the commemoration, plans to host a ceremony at the local arena on September 11, featuring speeches by dignitaries and musical performances by local artists.
