Sept. 11 attack anniversary reminder of Canada-U.S. ties, St. Catharines mayor says
The city is adding nine trees to honor survivors and first responders as officials say the memorial reflects stronger Canada-U.S. ties.
- St. Catharines, Ont., is expanding its 9/11 memorial trail at Happy Rolph's Animal Farm by planting nine trees to honor survivors and first responders; Mayor Mat Siscoe and U.S. Consul General Baxter Hunt are marking the 25th anniversary there tomorrow.
- This Friday marks 25 years since nearly 3,000 people were killed when al-Qaida hijackers slammed planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a Pennsylvania field. The anniversary arrives amid an escalating trade war between Canada and the United States.
- The memorial trail, which opened in 2006, honors 24 Canadians and three United States citizens with plaques listing names and ages. The Canadian Red Cross deployed 146 volunteers to New York to assist recovery efforts.
- Despite the trade tensions, Mayor Mat Siscoe emphasized that ties between the two countries' people remain strong. "The ties that bind our peoples are a lot stronger than any trade war," Siscoe said.
- On the day of the attacks, more than 200 planes were diverted to Canada; the Newfoundland community of Gander famously took in 38 passenger planes carrying more than 6,500 travellers. This shared history underscores enduring Canada-U.S. bonds.
