Victims of Montreal Massacre will be remembered today

Also known as White Ribbon Day, the day marks the anniversary of the École Polytechnique massacre in 1989 that claimed the lives of 14 women.

On the federal government website, we are asked “to remember those who have experienced gender-based violence and those who we have lost to it.”

On December 6, we remember:

Geneviève Bergeron
Hélène Colgan
Nathalie Croteau

Anne-Marie Edward
Maud Haviernick
Maryse Laganière
Maryse Leclair
Anne-Marie Lemay
