National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women
Tuesday, December 6 is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, on which Canadians pause to remember the 14 women who were murdered, and the 14 others who were injured, in the massacre that took place at 脡cole Polytechnique de Montr茅al on December 6, 1989.
In 1991, 缅北强奸鈥檚 Senate adopted a resolution stating, in part, that 鈥渢his violence cannot be forgotten by this generation or any other.鈥� On this final day of fall classes, in accordance with the resolution, our community will observe a minute of silence at 10:37 a.m.
On December 6, 缅北强奸鈥檚 flags will fly at half-staff and members of the 缅北强奸 community are invited to attend a memorial at 11:30 a.m., which will take place at the commemorative site located in front of University Centre, 3480 McTavish Street. In the case of inclement weather, the event will take place in the Ballroom of University Centre.
