Share your memories: Remembering December 6

Twenty-five years ago on December 6, Canadians were shocked by the horrific news of a shooting spree in Montreal at the Université du Montreal’s École polytechnique in which 14 women were killed.

On the eve of the anniversary, survivor Nathalie Provost, spoke with Global News about the importance of remembrance.

“I’ve always borne witness all these years because I think what happened at Polytechnique is part of our story. When we understand from where we’re coming from, I think we can be a better society and build a better world.

“So when people express clearly that they want to bear that memory also, and that they want to remember, I think that what I’ve done was for something.”
