25 years ago clear September morning an otherwise ordinary day became one of history's darkest. Nearly 3,000 people amongst some 24 Canadians lost their lives, were killed [music] in the worst terrorist attack in American history. This dark moment also brought forth [music] some of our best nature. Firefighters [music] climbing the stairs to rescue those in burning buildings. Rescue workers [music] working for weeks to bring closure. In Canada our government without hesitation [music] welcomed 224 planes 17 of our airports. [music] In Gander, the population almost doubled with strangers who were given a bed, hot meal, phone call home. Few years ago uh I visited Gander and uh >> [music] >> spent time with Beulah Cooper who one of the heroes. She wouldn't describe herself as a hero. And she had cards from uh a school [music] trip uh kids who'd visited. Um and one of them said "Your kindness makes me [music] want to use my kindness." And that's that's how generosity [music] spreads. The response to darkness uh is to reach out. [music] C'est la plus juste réponse à de n'importe quelle situation de rendre service à un inconnu un voisin, une communauté dans le besoin.
