In the days and weeks following September 11, 2001, Canadians from coast to coast stepped forward to help those
affected by the tragedy. From welcoming stranded travellers and opening emergency shelters to providing meals,
offering emotional and spiritual care, communities across Canada demonstrated remarkable compassion and service.
To honour those who answered the call, commemorative challenge coins have been created to recognize the
dedication of Salvation Army staff, volunteers, and responders who supported relief efforts across Canada and
assisted in New York City.
These coins serve as a lasting tribute to their commitment, sacrifice, and the spirit of helping others in times of crisis.
We are proud to recognize these individuals and the role Canadians played in the response to 9/11.

Historica Canada has released a Heritage Minute highlighting the extraordinary response of Gander,
Newfoundland and Labrador, following the events of September 11, 2001.
As thousands of airline passengers were unexpectedly diverted to the community, local residents,
organizations, and volunteers came together to provide comfort and care. The Salvation Army played an
important role in the response, helping to register displaced travellers, serving meals, offering emotional
and spiritual care, and opening its doors to those in need.
Take a moment to watch this powerful story of compassion, service, and community during a time of
uncertainty.
