Hey guys! Here is the info for the commemoration event for the women in engineering that were murdered at Ecole Polytechnique in 1989. This is a time to remember and appreciate the diversity in engineering, as well as to recognize the violence and institutional racism that Indigenous, Black, Queer and other minorities in Canada continue to face.
