National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada 

12/13/2015

 
​On every December 6, CFUW and several other women's organizations recognize the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada.  CFUW remembers those who lost their lives as a result of gender-based violence and reflects on the daily reality of women who face gender-based violence.  We remember the fourteen women who were singled out and murdered at the 1989 École Polytechnique massacre because they were women: Geneviève Bergeron, Hélène Colgan, Nathalie Croteau, Barbara Daigneault, Anne-Marie Edward, Maud Haviernick, Maryse Laganière, Maryse Leclair, Anne-Marie Lemay, Sonia Pelletier, Michèle Richard, Annie St-Arneault, Annie Turcotte and Barbara Klucznik-Widajewicz.

Several members from CFUW Mississauga attended and heard Dr. Kim Stanton speaking on Addressing Violence Against Indigenous Women:Truth, Reconciliation & a National Inquiry.  See Photo Gallery below. 

This annual luncheon raises funds for the CFUW Charitable Trust that support scholarships offered through the CFUW Fellowship program.
