National Day of Remembrance
| In Canada, December 6th is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women; established by parliamentary consensus in 1991, the day is set aside to recognize the violence against women. This date is chosen as it commemorates the tragic deaths of 14 young women at L'Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal on December 6, 1989. Michelle Landsberg wrote, "December 6 has become, for many women, not so much a day to grieve as a day to take stock take action and take courage from the community of the like-minded."
