The first week of December, a national fundraising campaign is launched wherein Polytechnique’s current and former community members as well as the general public, are encouraged to make a donation and in exchange, receive a virtual white rose.
All funds raised are then given to Folie Technique, Polytechnique’s scientific outreach kids camp program. They in turn use these funds for science camps that offers children from disadvantaged communities the chance to get acquainted and develop a love of the fascinating universe that is engineering and the sciences.
The White Rose Week online donation site is accessible all year long.
