The YWCA Rose Campaign commemorates Canada’s National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women and raises funds for YWCA Edmonton and its violence prevention and recovery programs.

We Remember

On December 6, 1989, 14 women at l’École Polytechnique de Montréal were killed, simply because they were women.

The day now represents a time to reflect on the issue of violence against women in our society. It is also a day for communities and individuals to speak out against all forms of violence against women, as well as its impact on their families and friends.

Why Take Action?
