Day of Remembrence

Commemorating the victims

I attended a moving event a few days ago – as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, Dec. 6 is a day to remember the 14 women shot to death by Marc Lépine at Ecole Polytechnique in 1989. Ernestine’s Women’s Shelter held an inspiring vigil featuring survivors, celebrities, and musical tributes to women killed and abused as a result of gender-based violence.
