YWCA Lethbridge :: National Day of Remembrance

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."

To learn what the YWCA of Lethbridge and District is doing to change this culture of violence on the local level, and to develop a plan for personal safety, we can be reached by the following methods:
