Students honour 14 women murdered 30 years ago
Fourteen female Waterloo Engineering students lit white candles and stood shoulder to shoulder today in honour of the 14 young women who were murdered because of their gender at l'École Polytechnique de Montréal three decades ago.
The solemn, poignant ceremony in Engineering 7 on the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women was held to both remember the massacre and remind people that, despite progress, necessary work continues on the underlying issues.
