29 years ago today there was a massacre at the École Polytechnique in Montreal. Since 1991 Canadians from coast to coast to coast have taken part in the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women or “White Ribbon Day.” It is important that we never forget this sickening incident in our history and the victims who lost their lives. It is also a day for us individually and as a society, to reflect upon and raise awareness of violence against women in our society.
Please join me today, whenever and wherever is appropriate for you, to reflect upon the victims of that massacre. We must never forget their names:
Geneviève Bergeron, 21
Hélène Colgan, 23
Nathalie Croteau, 23
Barbara Daigneault, 22
Anne-Marie Edward, 21
Maud Haviernick, 29
Barbara Klucznik, 31
Maryse Laganière, 25
Maryse Leclair, 23
Anne-Marie Lemay, 22
Sonia Pelletier, 23
Michèle Richard, 21
Anne St-Arneault, 23
Annie Turcotte, 21
May they rest in peace
