Why the Swissair 111 memorial stands at Peggy's Cove, not the crash site
When Swissair Flight 111 crashed 8 km off Nova Scotia in September 1998, killing 215 passengers and 14 crew members, the Peggy's Cove community led the recovery effort.
Why it mattersThe memorial is accessible to visitors near Peggy's Cove and marks both the victims and the community's role in bringing them home.
