Shame on any1 who didnt like this program it was amazing

[@TraneFrancks]

Thank you for sharing this history. As a Canadian who has lived abroad for 30 years, I was unaware of this legacy. It's lovely to see how the people of the area stepped up with such deep humanity.

[@JohannaLeigh]

You guys came through, BIG TIME!❤❤😊. The preparedness shows.

Such a cute and lovely couple finding joy, as so many do, in Newfoundland. I nominate them as honorary Canadians.

I don’t know why Gander gets all the shine. Halifax was another city that housed these people. My family took in 3 people….

[@WalterFrith]

It's because Gander was a town of 10,000 people who took in 7,000. Their resources were stretched and they still made it work.

Me me me me. Please.

[@excaliburjohndeere7657]

I think Gander representatives everyone. thank you Halifax. Wonderful wonderful people I’ve only known about this story today. It’s so impressive!

Planes flying east across the Pacific also landed in western Canada. Not many know about this! However, Gander gets "all the shine" because more planes landed there than anywhere else and they descended on an area where few people lived. What the people of Gander and surrounding towns DID and the efficiency & caring with which they did it, is what got / still gets "all the shine"!
