Students and staff participated in the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women and the White Ribbon campaign. During the week leading up to December 6th, students created a display commemorating the 14 women who died in the 1989 L'École Polytechnique massacre. As well students sold white ribbons to support this cause of ending violence against women.
Eastdale is fortunate to have a partnership with Peacebuilders who played an integral part of the day. After the assembly, students participated in classroom circle discussions led by Peacebuilder’s volunteer circle keepers. The discussions helped to bring a better understanding of this issue for Eastdale students.
Thanks to our staff, especially Mr. Lyne and Ms. Greenglass, who helped make this event a successful and meaningful one.
