Peace Arch 9/11 memorial ceremonies

Overview

Preparations were underway for the 25th annual Northwest 9/11 Memorial ceremony at Peace Arch Park, a location straddling the border between Surrey, B.C., and Blaine, Washington. The event was designed to honor the nearly 3,000 people killed in the September 11, 2001, attacks.

Expected attendees included hundreds of first responders, military personnel, border officers, and public officials from both Canada and the United States. The ceremony was scheduled to feature a helicopter flypast by U.S. Homeland Security and the participation of retired New York City police officers and firefighters who served during the 2001 attacks. Organizers noted that the cross-border ceremony serves as an “enduring expression of friendship and solidarity” between the two nations.

As the 25th anniversary approaches, the ceremony at the Peace Arch monument is set to host New York first responders. The event continues to serve as a reflection on the lives lost and the subsequent years of service and sacrifice by those involved.
