You don't hear much about that on the news.

Many years ago, during the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, NBC did a feature on the warmth and kindness of the Canadian people during this time.
It is a fabulous piece, and listed on YouTube. I highly recommend the video. It is titled: 9/11: Operation Yellow Ribbon (Gander, Newfoundland)
