This year marks the 35th anniversary of what has come to be known as the Montreal Massacre. On December 6, 1989, a man entered L’École Polytechnique in Montreal, separated the men from the women and shot and killed 14 women while making anti-woman statements.
To mark the anniversary of this tragic day, Women’s College Hospital will be holding an in-person rose ceremony to reflect on violence against women and remember those who have tragically lost their lives to gender-based violence.
In addition to the rose ceremony, there will be a keynote address by Sheila Macdonald, provincial director of the Ontario Network of Sexual Assault/Domestic Violence Treatment Centres, who will share her insights and learnings from more than three decades of work in this field.
Please join us in our commemoration.
Friday, December 6, 2024 from 12 p.m. – 1 p.m.
Women’s College Hospital – Auditorium (2nd Floor)
