Dec 6, 1989, Ecole Polytechnique, Montreal. THe country was forever changed on that day of terror.
From the CBC:
"Fourteen women died at Montreal’s École Polytechnique, killed simply because they were women. They were brilliant students, creative thinkers, beloved sisters, cherished daughters.
Their lives, cut short, became the source of sorrow for a nation.
Their deaths sparked a movement that took direct aim at violence hidden in the shadows for too long."
