MONTREAL MASSACRE - DECEMBER 6, 1989




WE REMEMBER YOU

 Photobucket

On December 6, 1989, 14 women were killed at the Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal.  Almost immediately, the Montreal massacre became a galvanizing moment in which mourning turned into outrage above all violence against women.  On October 9, 2012, Malala Yousafai, a 14 year old Pakistani activist for girls’ education was shot in the Swat Valley in north-west Pakistan by the Taliban.  May we never forget :

 Maud Haviernick
Maryse Laganière
Maryse Leclair
Anne-Marie Lemay
Sonia Pelletier
Michèle Richard
Annie St-Arneault
Annie Turcotte

We remember them by continuing to fight to stop violence against women and may we honour their memory by voting for Malala Yousafai to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
