Erica Basnicki is a Canadian writer who first rose to prominence because her opinions were sought because she was a vocal surviving relative of a victim of al Qaeda's 2001 attack on the World Trade Center.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
In 1998, while still a high school student at Richview Collegiate Institute, Basnicki wrote an article for the Toronto Star about an upcoming teacher's strike.[8]
Basnicki was chosen to read the names of the 24 Canadians who died on September 11, 2001, during a memorial ceremony on September 11, 2002.[7]
