[Over] 30 Years Ago Today, 14 Engineering Students Were Murdered in Montréal - Because They Were Women

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Thank you for this post, I see you keep it alive year after year.

I’m a woman, and an engineer (one of two in a company with ~35 engineers), and today felt heavy. 35 years and there’s still so much work to be done. I remembered these women, and cried for them.

My larger company is American and there was no corporate recognition of today sent out. So I shared an image in Teams with my Canadian colleagues and just let that speak for me.

I remember.

You’re welcome. It’s important to remember. I’m sorry your US company didn’t find it significant.

Thank you again for the post. Once again nothing from my company and it’s a Saturday….

The lights shone bright over Mont Royal tonight in tribute. There’s a new art piece at the Places des Montréalaises. The Polytechnique has expanded a scholarship in honor of the victims.

They are not forgotten.

Thanks for posting this annually. Sad to think how little has changed since. Progress, yes, but sooo slow, and so many backward steps.
