United Nurses of Alberta remembers and mourns the 14 female engineering students who were murdered at l'École Polytechnique de Montréal on December 6, 1989, in an act of gender-based violence.

The anniversary of this national tragedy commited 36 years ago is commemorated as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. This solem day of remembrance represents an opportunity for all Canadians to reflect on the impact of violence against women and girls in our society.

As we mourn their loss and remember their lives, we reaffirm our commitment to fight the hatred that led to this tragedy and the misogyny that still exists today. Communities and individuals must speak out and all levels of government must be reminded of their responsibility to take meaningful steps to prevent all forms of violence against women and girls in Canada.

This solemn occasion reminds us to renew our commitment as union members and citizens to seek practical ways to end violence against women and girls in Canadian homes, communities and workplaces.

UNA recommits to reflect on the impact of violence against women in our society and remembers each of the 14 young women who lost their lives on December 6, 1989:
