SUMMARY:Candlelit Vigil (Abbotsford) - National Day of Awareness and Action
  on Violence Against Women
DESCRIPTION:\nPlease join us at noon on the Abbotsford campus to recognize 
 the National Day of Awareness and Action on Violence Against Women.\nIt ha
 s been over 30 years since the murder of 14 young women at Polytechnique M
 ontréal (December 6\, 1989). This act of violent misogyny shook our count
 ry and led Parliament to designate December 6 as The National Day of Remem
 brance and Action on Violence Against Women.\n\nOn December 6\, we remembe
 r:\n\n 	Geneviève Bergeron\n 	Hélène Colgan\n 	Nathalie Croteau\n 	Barb
 ara Daigneault\n 	Anne-Marie Edward\n 	Maud Haviernick\n 	Maryse Laganièr
 e\n 	Maryse Leclair\n 	Anne-Marie Lemay\n 	Sonia Pelletier\n 	Michèle Ric
 hard\n 	Annie St-Arneault\n 	Annie Turcotte\n 	Barbara Klucznik-Widajewicz
 \n\nAs we mourn their loss and remember their lives\, we reaffirm our comm
 itment to fight the hatred that led to this tragedy\, and the misogyny tha
 t still exists today. In Canada and around the world\, women\, girls and 2
 SLGBTQI+ individuals face unacceptable violence and discrimination. Gender
 -based violence in Canada has been magnified and amplified by the COVID-19
  pandemic. There have been reports from police services\, shelters\, and l
 ocal organization of an increase in calls related to gender-based violence
  across Canada during the pandemic.\n\nThe National Day of Remembrance and
  Action on Violence Against Women is about remembering those who have expe
 rienced gender-based violence and those who we have lost to it. It is also
  a time to take action. Achieving a Canada free from gender-based violence
  requires everyone living in this country to educate themselves and their 
 families and communities on gender-based violence\, centre the voices of s
 urvivors in our actions and speak up against harmful behaviours.\n\n&nbsp\
