Canadian Catholic commemorates compassionate, selfless 9/11 aftermath

In brief

Maureen Basniki is dedicating her work to celebrating the heroic actions taken across Canada following the September 11 attacks. After struggling with the grief of her husband's death, Basniki now focuses on highlighting the compassion shown by various groups during the aftermath.

Her work honors the people of Gander who welcomed travelers, schools and churches that opened as shelters, and the firefighters and search-and-rescue crews who traveled across the border to assist in New York.
