On the evening of Saturday December 6th, the Dalhousie Undergraduate Engineering Society and the Dalhousie Women in Engineering Society held a ceremony to mark the 25th anniversary of Canada’s deadliest mass shooting and the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. The ceremony was dedicated to remembering the fourteen women (12 engineering students, a nursing student and a university administrator) who were killed at Montreal’s École Polytechnique on Dec 6th, 1989.
Dr. Wendy Gentleman, associate professor in Dalhousie's Engineering Mathematics department, was a 1st year mechanical engineering student at McGill University in Montreal at the time of the massacre. She gave a moving multi-media presentation at the ceremony. For those of you who were unable to attend, she has designed a web-version of her presentation. Please see link below.
