Bill Honours Courageous Response to Terror (June 23, 2009)
OTTAWA - Senator David Tkachuk, on behalf of Senator Pamela Wallin, today introduced Bill S-240 in the Senate. The National Day of Service Act, in memory of 9/11 victims, will dedicate September 11th of every year as a day set aside for community service.
“I was approached by the Canadian families of 9/11 victims asking why we do not have a day to remember the victims of 9/11,” said Senator Wallin. “I feel this bill is important because we need to remember what came out of the tragedy — the outpouring of kindness and unity that we all witnessed here in Canada, in the United States, and in other countries around the world.” More
