Nat'l Day of Remembrance & Action on Violence Against Women

Published: December 06 2024 08:00

Dec 6th is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women

We mark this day to remember the women who were murdered in the appalling mass shooting at Polytechnique Montréal on Dec 6, 1989 -- and all who have experienced gender-based violence and those who we have lost to it.

In Nova Scotia and around the world, women and girls face unacceptable violence and discrimination. We all must act.
