Daughters. Sisters. Friends. Students. Engineers. Women.
We remember Polytechnique. We remember them.
ALT Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Member of Parliament Rachel Bendayan are holding a white rose each and standing in front of a framed collage on an easel. In the collage, photos of the 14 women who were murdered at the École Polytechnique de Montréal on December 6th, 1989, are visible. Others are standing behind the collage.

Did you know there will be a solar eclipse next Monday, April 8th? The sun will only be partially eclipsed in Vancouver, but you can still see it with eclipse glasses. The Trottier Observatory @sfutrottobs will be giving out glasses for FREE that day! events.sfu.ca/event/39443-so…
