National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women
On Dec. 6, 1989, 14 women were killed at 脡cole Polytechnique. They were killed because they were women, because most were students in an engineering program. What has come to be called the Montreal Massacre is an event we are all called upon to remember: violence against women continues to be part of our present.
According to the UN, globally, a woman was killed every 10 minutes in 2023.
On the 36th anniversary of the 脡cole Polytechnique massacre, and the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women (White Ribbon Day), we invite you to join us in a commemoration of the 14 young women.
When: Friday, December 5, 2025, 12:00 鈥� 12:30 pm, followed by a community solace reception
Where: McTavish Street, across from Brown Building, in front of the plaque and tree dedicated in memory
