On December 6 1989, a young man entered the Ecole Polytechnic in Montreal with a Sturm Ruger Mini-14 semi-automatic rifle and began to systematically murder every female student he could find.

Fourteen women died in the massacre, and 13 others were wounded. Before Marc Lepine had finished, he turned the gun on himself.

Lepine left a suicide note, detailing how he was refused admission to the engineering school. He blamed these women and feminists for ruining his life.

This page is dedicated to the 14 women who lost their lives that day, and the white ribbon is a symbol for the end of violence against women.

I urge you to copy the ribbon and attach it to your web page in rememberance, and as a pledge to never tolerate such brutal acts of violence against women ever again. Please feel free to link this page, or to create a memorial of your own.
