The Muse Gallery and Cafe hosted a display of student artwork over the weekend.
In partnership with the Muse and Maggie’s Resource Centre, students from North Hastings High School created artwork to be displayed in remembrance of the 14 women who were killed in the Montreal Massacre.
The Muse displayed four large canvasses done by the students which included things like the women’s names, red roses and candles.
There were also pictures of the women who were killed around the cafe, which had short descriptions of their lives, families and dreams cut short.
This year marks the 36th year since the tragedy occurred.
The Canadian Encyclopedia says it inspired the creation of the Coalition for Gun Control, whose efforts contributed to the adoption of federal firearm control legislation in 1995.
It also sparked widespread conversation about anti-feminist sentiment and December 6 was named a National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.
