We remember the 14 women who lost their lives in an abhorrent act of misogyny at Polytechnique Montréal and those who have lost their lives to gender based violence.
As hatred is being stoked in our communities, we reaffirm and stand firm in our commitment to fight back against hatred in all its forms.
