Poly 1989 - 31 years later

Remembering that fatal day massacre Dec.6th,1989... 14 young women from the Polytechnique de Montreal lost their lives just because they were 'WOMEN'. Members of the engineering faculty had no chance of survival. It's still so fresh in my mind having lived one street from this place, my girls were in high school, but the commotion, police, ambulances and parents parking anyway just to be able to run to the university of Montreal and get news of their loved ones. To see stretchers after stretchers go by, not knowing who they were, how was their state and what had happened is still so fresh in my mind & I'm not a parent of these young women, I can't imagine what their loved ones were feeling and really nobody will ever know, feelings are either put in full view or kept in a part of one's heart to return to and try to make sense of all that happened on Wednesday december 6th,1989

R.I.P.

 

The 14 roses and the explosion of my drawing is hanging in my office to remember... that I too am a woman and it can happen at any age or time.

 

BUT HAVE WE LEARNED SOMETHING.....
