Montreal Massacre Memorial Service

The PEI Advisory Council on the Status of Women will host its annual Charlottetown Memorial Service in Memorial Hall at Confederation Centre of the Arts on December 5 at 12 pm. 

The ceremony and candle-lighting will take place in remembrance of women lost to gender-based violence, including the 14 victims of the 1989 Montreal Massacre, 10 Island women killed since, and thousands of missing and murdered Indigenous women.

Alyssa Coghlin, a therapist with the PEI Rape and Sexual Assault Centre, will be the guest speaker. The program will include a musical performance by Catherine MacLellan, piano accompaniment by Todd MacLean, and an Indigenous ceremony.

This is a public event. All are welcome to attend.
