Good Morning #Canada
25 years ago, as the USA was under terrorist attack, Canada stepped up to accept 230+ international flights across the country and provide accommodation and food for over 30,000 travellers, many of whom were Americans. Gander became the most famous host as the small town of less than 10,000 took in 6,100 stranded passengers. But that compassion was evident across Canada.#CanadaIsAwesome #CanadianHeroes #September11

#HappyBirthday to Brooke Mackenzie Henderson, born OTD in 1997 in Smiths Falls Ontario. She is Canada's most accomplished golfer with 20 pofessional wins, including 14 on the LPGA. Henderson was named the Canadian Press female athlete of the year for 2015, 2017 and 2018. At the recent Canadian championship tournament she was praised by younger Canadian competitors for being a role model and helping in them in their careers.#CanadaIsAwesome #Golf

The Greatest Manhunt: Chasing the Mad Trapper
The 48-day pursuit became an epic struggle against the Arctic winter. The RCMP, aided by Gwich'in trackers, chased him over 240 km. The manhunt made history with the first use of an aircraft for pursuit, piloted by WWI flying ace Wop May. His aerial reconnaissance was crucial in tracking the fugitive across the vast, unforgiving terrain. #Canada #MadTrapper #WopMay #CanadaIsAwesome 🇨🇦

The Canadian Lynx is predominantly found in Canada but is rarely seen by Canadians. Its habitat range is well above where our population is dense and it is primarily a night hunter. As a #Wildlife species, Felis Lynx Canadensis was first recognized in 1792. This medium sized furry feline with pointy ears, a genetic cousin of the Bobcat, is not considered to be an #EndangeredSpecies. They are cute, but definitely not pets. -
St. Roch's Triumph: Circumnavigating a Continent
In 1944, the St. Roch sailed back from Halifax to Vancouver via the Northwest Passage in a single season, taking just 86 days. This feat made it the first vessel to transit the passage in both directions and the first to circumnavigate North America. The voyage was a powerful demonstration of Canadian skill and Arctic sovereignty. #Canada #StRoch #CanadaIsAwesome #ArcticExploration 🇨🇦

Good Morning #Canada
In downtown Toronto you can find Simcoe Park and the 100 Workers Monument. Erected in 2000, it was an initiative of Ontario’s Workplace Safety and Insurance Board to shine a light on workplace safety. The monument features 100 plaques that describe an actual fatal on-the-job accident from 1901 to 1999, some mundane and others gruesome. A final plaque was left blank to represent future tragedy.#CanadaIsAwesome #WorkplaceSafety
