Prime Minister Stephen Harper today announced that he will travel to New York City to mark the 10th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
“On this day, we will pay tribute to Canadians, Americans and all those who lost their lives nearly 10 years ago in these heinous attacks,” said the Prime Minister. “As we pay tribute to the victims and their loved ones, we also honour members of the military, law enforcement and intelligence personnel who continue to fight on the front lines against all forms of terrorism.”
On September 10, Prime Minister Harper will travel to New York City to attend a private reception for Canadian victims’ families to show his support for those affected by the senseless and tragic attacks.
