Glowing candle_animated National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women

On December 6, 1989, 14 young women were horrifically killed at l’École Polytechnique de Montréal.
They died because the man who killed them hated women.

FTP will be hosting an outdoor ceremony at our Orangeville office to recognize these 14 women, as well as the many women who have lost their lives to gender-based violence.

Thursday, December 4, 2025 | 5–5:30 p.m.
20 Bredin Parkway, Orangeville
This will be an outdoor event—please dress accordingly.

An online observance will also be shared on our social pages on December 6, 2025.
