Buildings took a variety of styles according to the means available to build them. Often compared to San Francisco due to the hilly terrain and steep maze of residential streets, housing in St. John's is typically painted in bright colours. The city council has implemented strict heritage regulations in the downtown area, including restrictions on the height of buildings. Gander International Airport, Newfoundland and Labrador On September 11, 2001, with United States airspace closed due to the terrorist attacks, Gander International played host to 38 airliners, totaling 6,122 passengers and 473 crew, as part of Operation Yellow Ribbon. Gander International received more flights than any other Canadian airport involved in the operation apart from Halifax. The 6,595 passengers and crew accounted for the third highest total of passengers that landed at a Canadian airport involved in the operation, behind Vancouver and Halifax. A major reason that Gander received so much traffic was its ability to handle large aircraft, and because Transport Canada and Nav Canada instruct- ed pilots coming from Europe to avoid the airports in major urban centres of Central Canada, like Toronto Pearson International Airport and Mon- tréal-Dorval. The reception these travellers received in the central Newfoundland communities near the airport has been one of the most widely reported happy stories surrounding that day, and was dramatized in the hit Broadway musical Come from Away. Canadian Forces Base Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador The military has played an inherent role in forming the history of the Happy Valley-Goose Bay region. The airfield was first constructed in 1941 as a landing and refuelling stop for the Atlantic Ferry Command; was used as an aircraft base during World War II; and then became a tactical flight training centre for many allied Air Forces such as German, British and Dutch. Located on Canadian Forces Base 5 Wing Goose Bay, the airport is on the official NASA list of alternate Shuttle landing sites due to the quality of infrastructure and prevailing weather conditions. In 2016, the Town joined CFB 5 Wing Goose Bay in celebrating its 75th Anniversary as a part of our community. 2 Spring 2018 Insti-News I recently participated in the District 2 spring meeting, held at City Hall in Cambridge.

Many Transport Canada employees worked night and day during those four days, and long hours throughout the following weeks and months, to respond to the crisis. This booklet records some of their reflections about those four days. It is not intended to provide a comprehensive account of the crisis, but simply to remind us of their professionalism and dedication during a difficult and momentous time. Foreword Foreword I will never forget that day in September and, I’m sure, neither will you. It began routinely enough, just like it did for most of us. I was at the Montreal Convention Centre, speaking to the opening of a huge inter- national conference of airport CEOs and managers from around the world.
