Over time, the community has chosen to favour a simple commemoration, more personal in nature. So, early on the morning of this coming Monday, December 6, a bouquet of 14 white roses will be placed before the memorial plaque. White ribbons, symbol of the struggle to stop violence against women, will be available at the offices of the Association des étudiants de Polytechnique. At around 10:45 a.m. on Monday, a message broadcast over École Polytechnique's intercom system will invite the school community to observe a minute of silence at 11 a.m. All academic and social activities will be cancelled for the entire day.

The memory lives on ...
