The International Peace Garden will host a special event at the 9/11 Memorial Site on Thursday, Sept. 11.
The International Peace Garden will hold its annual 9/11 Memorial event on Thursday, Sept. 11, at 11 a.m. at the 9/11 Memorial site.
The event is free to the public and regular gate admission rates resume at noon. Attendees are encouraged to arrive by 10:30 am. Light refreshments will be available to the public after the event. The cafe and gift shop also will be open.
In the event of inclement weather, the ceremony will be held in the Atrium of the Conservatory.
The event will begin at 10:50 a.m. with the Marching of the Flags by the Honor Guard and a military piper, Warrant Officer Brionne Logan of 26th Military Pipers from Brandon, Manitoba, in a procession from the Peace Chapel to the 9/11 Memorial. The ceremony will be opened at 11 a.m. by Master of Ceremonies Dwight MacAulay, with a welcome from Garden CEO Tim Chapman, followed by the Canadian and U.S. anthems, performed by the Bottineau School Choir under the direction of Jaque Marum.
The program will include guest speakers from the U.S. and Canada, the laying of memorial wreaths, a moment of silence, a prayer by Captain Tim Challen of the 26th Field Regiment and closing remarks by MacAulay.
“This is a day of remembrance and a reminder of the importance of the foundational values of the Garden,” Chapman said. “When we come together across borders to honor those values, we help ensure that peace is not just an aspirational idea but a long-standing reality and an example to the world of friendship between nations.”
The 9/11 Memorial was established in 2002 through the work of the Peace Garden board, the North Dakota and Manitoba governments and Rotary clubs in both countries.
