Remembering December 6, 1989

December 2019

December 6, 2019 marks the 30th anniversary of the shooting tragedy at École Polytechnique in Montréal. There will be various events in memoriam at the university, elsewhere in Montreal, and across Canada. A book Ce jour-là - parce qu'elles étaient des femmes, written by Josée Boileau, will be published on December 6; it will contain photos, descriptions, and testimonials. A gathering will be held in Mont-Royal, QC at 5 pm on December 6, where 14 lights will be illuminated to remember and honour the 14 young women whose lives were cut short 30 years ago. 14 additional universities from Vancouver, BC to Halifax, NS will also take part in this tribute. We encourage our members to pay their respects by taking part in their local commemorative events.

École Polytechnique has set up a December 6 Memory and Remembrance website – please click here to view.

There has certainly been progress made in the past 30 years, but there is still room for growth and change within our industry – the CGS aims to overcome current challenges and be a part of positive changes, and the inclusion and celebration of women in geotechnique.
