"Last Thursday, Their Honours had the privilege of attending a moving performance of Come From Away in Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador. This heartwarming musical tale of compassion, kindness, and resilience resonated deeply with the audience, serving as a poignant reminder of the tragedy that unfolded on 9/11. Yet, it also shed light on the extraordinary display of humanity and generosity exhibited by the people of Newfoundland and Labrador, who opened their hearts and homes to thousands of stranded travelers in their time of need.
Lieutenant Governor Joan Marie aptly described Come From Away as a testament to the goodness that continues to thrive in the world, even in the face of adversity. The musical masterfully weaves a narrative that is both heartbreaking and uplifting, evoking a sense of pride in the province's response to the crisis. The cast, crew, and musicians delivered a truly exceptional performance, skillfully conveying the emotions and sentiments that define this remarkable true story.
Their Honours would like to extend a sincere thank you to the entire team behind Come From Away for creating an unforgettable evening that touched the hearts and lifted the spirits of all in attendance. The inspiring story of Gander's kindness and generosity will undoubtedly continue to inspire audiences for years to come, serving as a beacon of hope and a reminder of the transformative power of human compassion."
