December 6th is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada. This day marks the anniversary of the shooting rampage in 1989, at the Universite du Montreal's Ecole polytechnique in which 14 women were killed. They died because they were women.

Join the Campbell River & North Island Transition Society with drumming, speakers, a remembrance of the 14 victims from Quebec and information booths for people to collect relevant information on local resources.

It will be an event that represents all that are affected by honoring, bringing awareness and creating change for victims of Gender-based Violence.
