Description
Each year on December 6, Women’s College Hospital commemorates the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, established in 1991 by the Parliament of Canada. For the Women’s College Hospital community and Canadians across the country, December 6 is an important day of remembrance and reflection. On this 23rd anniversary of the tragic killings at l’École Polytechnique in Montréal, please join us as we honour the 14 female victims who lost their lives because of gender-based violence. Our keynote speaker will be Fran Odette, program manager of the Women with Disabilities and Deaf Women’s Program at Springtide Resources. Her address is titled: The Time is Now: Charting a Course for Action and Mobilization to End Violence Against Women. All are welcome to attend and admission is free.

Guidelines for reader comments

Submissions go directly online, without being seen by editors. So, it’s important that you follow the laws against defamation. Do that by keeping your comments focussed on issues, and on your ideas and opinions. Do not get personal and do not defame others. If you see defamatory comments made in other people’s postings, report them to our moderator, who will investigate within two business days.

Your comment must directly relate to the subject of the article.

Avoid confusing statements; express your thoughts clearly and succinctly so readers will understand your opinion. Do not post superficial comments, such as a short phrase or just a few words.

Do not post promotions of products, services or events. If you see such postings, report them to our moderator, who will investigate within two business days.

Your comment and name may also be published in an Xtra paper.

Publication of your comments on Xtra.ca or in an Xtra paper is not an endorsement of your views by Xtra.ca or Pink Triangle Press.
