(September 10, 2021) – Ahead of the 20th Anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks tomorrow, the PC Official Opposition wishes to recognize the memory of the victims of this tragedy. The bravery and sacrifices made by so many on this tragic day must also be commended.

“First and foremost, our thoughts are with the victims and their families in the lead up to the 20th Anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks which changed the world as we knew it. So many lives were needlessly lost directly in the attacks themselves and through the courageous efforts of first responders,” says PC Opposition Leader and MHA for Conception Bay East – Bell Island, David Brazil.

As the news came in and the planes landed, Newfoundlanders & Labradorians rose to the challenge, helping in any way that they could.

Brazil says, “Today we also honour the Newfoundlanders and Labradorians that provided safety and comfort to the thousands of people from all over the world that sought refuge in our province. We did what we do best – we helped others in their time of need.”
