National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women Memorial

Join us for the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women Memorial. Together we will mourn the women killed at the L’Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal in an act of violence on December 6, 1989, as well as the Ontario femicide victims of 2023,  as reported by OAITH. Join us to turn our mourning into action on December 6th, 12 - 1:30pm EST for a panel discussion, a rose ceremony, music by the Queer SongBook Orchestra, followed by food and conversation afterwards. Please email osvse@torontomu.ca if there are ways we can make this event more accessible for your needs.
