Please read the following statement from Elizabeth May, MP for Saanich–Gulf Islands and Leader of the Green Party of Canada, recognising the anniversary of 9/11 and the National Day of Service:
“23 years since terrorists destroyed the Twin Towers and claimed thousands of lives, including 26 Canadians. Planes were used as weapons of terror and war. The immense trauma these acts inflicted cannot be forgotten. I want to particularly thank all the firefighters and first responders who bravely entered a situation of unimaginable horror to help. On this National Day of Service, we mourn for all those who died so cruelly.”
