On 9/11 2001, the US closed its airspace after unfathomable terrorist attacks. Flights bound for the US were forced to divert, with many opting to land in Canada. Under Operation Yellow Ribbon, the small town of Gander, NL and the surrounding communities accepted 38 planes.

At the Inter-Parliamentary Union Hearing at the UN, a clear message to lawmakers: Your engagement is required as the United Nations is not only under pressure but under outright attack. Parliamentarians need to stand up for the UN Charter, to support reforming the UN and to get engaged in the process of selecting the next Secretary-General.
