Every year, women and men pause on Dec. 6 to reflect on violence against women in our society and remember 14 young women killed in 1989 at Montreal's l'E?cole Polytechnique just because they were female. In response to that event, in 1991, the Government of Canada officially designated Dec. 6 as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. We would like to invite you to participate in the Women Won't Forget Candlelight Vigil to mark the day and reinforce that violence against women must not be tolerated.
