National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women
Dear members of聽the聽杏吧原创 community,
Each year on December 6, 杏吧原创 University observes聽the聽. This day commemorates聽the聽brutal killing of 14 women who were victims of a horrific act of gender-based violence in a mechanical engineering classroom at 脡cole Polytechnique de Montr茅al. An annual聽event on campus,聽hosted by聽the聽Faculty of Engineering and Design, honours聽their memory and those who have experienced gender-based violence.聽
Today鈥檚 ceremony invites us to reflect on the impacts of gender-based violence, however, it also reminds us that violence and harassment, in their many forms, remain deeply entrenched in our society. Our community must work to eradicate all forms of hate and to ensure everyone receives dignity, respect and understanding.

Sincerely,
