SUMMARY:National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women
DESCRIPTION:Overview



On Thursday, December 3, the Faculty of Engineering and Design and Feminist Institute of Social Transformation invite the Carleton community to join an on-campus commemoration for Canada’s National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women (which falls on a Sunday in 2026).



The day also honours the memories of the 14 women who were killed in the 1989 massacre at École Polytechnique on December 6.



Beginning at 12:15 p.m., Cynthia Cruickshank, associate dean of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in the Faculty of Engineering and Design; Bailey Reid, senior advisor on Gender and Sexual Violence Prevention and Support from Equity and Inclusive Communities; and representatives from Carleton's engineering student community will offer remarks.



White ribbons will be available, and attendees will be invited to submit a written pledge of intention, commitment or action against gender-based violence.



Content Warning



As a trigger warning, please note that the event will reference gender-based violence. We understand that this can trigger strong reactions and we encourage the community to connect with Carleton University’s Sexual Assault Support Centre and/or Health and Counselling Services for support. Additional community supports can also be found here. 



Additional resources can be found on the university's White Ribbon Day page.
