It has been over 30 years since the murder of 14 young women at Polytechnique Montréal (December 6, 1989). This act of violent misogyny shook our country and led Parliament to designate December 6 as The National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

On December 5th, join the Diversity Action Group in the Quarterdeck of the Grant Building over the lunch hour as we reaffirm our commitment to fight the hatred that led to this tragedy, and the misogyny that still exists today.
