20TH ANNIVERSARY YEAR OF COMMEMORATION
20 years ago, the world learned a poignant lesson in compassion, generosity and finding the light in the darkest of places. Inspired by the Newfoundlanders who opened their hearts, arms, and homes without a second thought, we strive to remember, and in their honor, act with the same extraordinary kindness.
This year we will honor what was lost & we will commemorate what we found. We will come together to spread love, appreciation, understanding and kindness to all who come from away.
