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.
