25th Anniversary of 9/11 - Untold Stories - Reconnected

Step back 25 years and hear the personal stories behind one of the most extraordinary chapters in Gander’s history - Operation Yellow Ribbon.

Untold Stories – Reconnected brings together “Plane People,” local residents, and others who experienced the events of September 11, 2001, firsthand. Through personal reflections and shared memories, they will revisit the six unforgettable days that changed Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador, and the lives of thousands of passengers and crew who found themselves welcomed into communities across Canada.

We are pleased to welcome The Honourable David Collenette, Canada’s Minister of Transport on September 11, 2001, as a special guest. Minister Collenette will share his firsthand perspective on the events of that day and Canada’s unprecedented response to the thousands of passengers diverted to communities across the country.

Through stories of compassion, resilience, unexpected connections, and hope, speakers will share experiences that have remained largely untold over the past 25 years.

This special evening offers a deeply personal look at the human side of September 11 and the remarkable response of the people of Gander and surrounding communities. It is an opportunity to hear the voices behind the history, reflect on the connections formed during those six unforgettable days, and help preserve these stories for generations to come.

Join us for an evening of reflection, gratitude, and storytelling as we reconnect with the people and memories at the heart of one of the most extraordinary stories to emerge from one of the world’s darkest days.
