1/2: This morning In collaboration with UNBC Northern Women’s Centre @inspiringwomenamongus UNBC, and @CNC, Please join us at the Memorial to the Montreal Massacre and Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

Brief history: The Memorial marks the day that a lone gunman stormed into an engineering class at L’Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal on December 6th, 1989. He ordered the men to leave. He then shot and killed female students in the room before killing more female students and a staff person in other parts of the school (14 women in total). He then turned the gun on himself. After 20 minutes, the largest mass murder in Canadian history was over.

The memorial will be taking place today Wednesday, November 23rd at 11 am in the UNBC Teaching and Learning building near Degrees Coffee. Please join us in marking this event and reflecting on its significance.

Everyone is invited and welcome to attend the memorial and reception.
