Montréal – With pride and solemnity, Polytechnique Montréal’s Executive awards the Order of the White Rose to Édith Ducharme, and this, a day before the 30th anniversary of the December 6, 1989 tragedy. Ducharme is a Université de Laval Engineering Physics graduate. Polytechnique established the Order of the White Rose in 2014, in homage to the 14 women murdered on December 6, 1989. A $30,000 bursary is awarded annually to a female Canadian engineering student who is pursuing engineering graduate studies in Canada or elsewhere in the world.
