National Day of Remembrance

Today is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on violence against women and children.

On December 6, 1989, the lives of 14 young women were cut short in one of the most heinous acts of violence in Canadian history. They were daughters, sisters, wives and friends whose lives were full of promise and hope, horrifically taken by a gunman at l’École Polytechnique de Montréal.

Please take a moment to watch this memorial video to remember each of these beautiful women.
