Canada Remembers the 21st Anniversary of the Montreal Massacre

Ceremonies were held in Montreal and across the country Sunday to mark the 20th anniversary of Canada’s worst mass shooting.

Fourteen women died when shooter Marc Lépine staged his attack at Montreal’s École Polytechnique on Dec. 6, 1989.

Armed with a rifle, he stormed into a classroom, separated the men from the women, and declared he hated feminists before opening fire on the women. Lépine turned the gun on himself after his 20-minute rampage, which wounded 13 others.

The shooting, which came to be known as the Montreal Massacre, sparked a national debate about gun control and violence against women.

In 1991, Parliament declared Dec. 6 the National Day of Action and Remembrance on Violence Against Women.”
