Montréal, Quebec, December 6, 2021—The Samuel De Champlain Bridge will be lit up in dark purple and white from sunset until 1 a.m. this evening.

“Tonight, the Samuel-De Champlain Bridge will be illuminated to honour the memory of the 14 women lost in the 1989 École Polytechnique de Montréal massacre, and amplify the national call to take action on violence against women. The need for greater support has become even clearer in the last 20 months. Our Government is committed to taking strong action to ensure the safety and well-being of all Canadians.”

—Rachel Bendayan, Member of Parliament for Outremont, Quebec
