Shoe memorial held in Kamloops
KAMLOOPS — On December 6th 1989, a 25 year old man entered L’Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal, and shot 28 people, killing 14 women. Since that tragic event, December 6th has been known as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.
On Sunday December 6, 2015 – family and friends gathered at St. Andrews on the Square to remember the women they’ve lost to violent acts.
After the murder of her mother, a Kamloops woman was inspired to keep her and other victims memories alive by organizing what’s called the Shoe Memorial.
