blog - Dec 5 candlelight vigil CEP 02

Twenty-five years ago on Dec 6, 1989, a gunman entered classrooms at Montreal’s Ecole Polytechnique, divided the students by gender, and killed 14 women. UFV marked the 25th anniversary of this tragic event with a candlelight ceremony on Fri, Dec 5.  Here is a link to video taken by the Vancouver Sun at a candlelight vigil held at UFV’s Chilliwack campus.

Photos of the event can be seen here.
