Ecole Polytechnique Memorial Service (EITC Atrium)

We are having a memorial service on December 6th, 9:30-10:20am in EITC Atrium, honoring the 14 lives lost at the Ecole Polytechnique Massacre.

On December 6th 1989, at approximately 5pm, what should have been a joyous celebration at the end of a school semester, turned into a tragedy. A man entered a classroom at the Ecole Polytechnique de montreal with an assualt weapon. He ordered the mnen to go to one side of the room and the women to go to the other. He targeted the female engineering students and shot them. The tragic murder of 14 brillant and creative women, beloved sisters and cherised daughters, sparked a deep outrage among the population. 

Governments quickly declared December 6 as the National  Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.
