Community Vigil

On December 6, join the Kingston community for National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. KFPL is co-hosting a vigil at the Central Branch in partnership with Kingston Interval House, Sexual Assault Centre Kingston, Trellis, the Kingston Frontenac Anti-Violence Coordinating Committee and the Kingston Anti-Violence Advisory Council.

This event will commemorate the 14 women tragically murdered during the 1989 Montreal Massacre at École Polytechnique, as well as other women from Kingston and the surrounding area who have lost their lives to gender-based violence.
