The University of Calgary will take a moment Friday to remember the victims of the Montreal Massacre, 25 years later.
On December 6th, 1989, a gunman shot and killed 14 women before killing himself.
Students are encouraged to attend the university’s National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women at noon at the Husky Oil Great Hall.
This year’s theme is ‘Silence is Complicity’ and focuses on the bystander’s role in combating gender-based violence.
Visitors to the Faculty of Law’s Murray Fraser Hall will have the opportunity to discuss a sculpture called Lest we Forget, honouring the victims of gender-based violence.
