In honour of the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women.
Join Kingston Interval House, Trellis, Kingston Frontenac Anti-Violence Coordinating Committee, KFPL, Kingston Anti-Violence Advisory Council, and the Sexual Assault Centre for a community vigil and rose ceremony in honour of the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women.
The vigil will begin at 5:00 PM in Meet 1 of the Central branch of the Kingston Frontenac Public Library. It will commemorate the lives of the fourteen women murdered in the Montreal Massacre at Ecole Polytechnique in 1989. The event will also honour the lives of other women from Kingston and the surrounding area who have been killed through gender-based violence.
The event will include live music and speakers.
The event will move outdoors at 5:45 PM to the yard of the Cathedral Church of St. George for a candlelight vigil.
Join us before the vigil, in Meet 1, from 4:00-5:00 PM for refreshments and a chance to socialize.
Though drop-ins are welcome on a first-come first-served basis, registration is encouraged.
