Churchill Tech Standing Up to Violence Against Women

Sir Winston Churchill Collegiate and Vocational Institute Technology students are taking a stand against violence against women during the week of December 1, the week leading up to the 25th anniversary of the École Polytechnique where a lone gunman killed 14 female students and wounded an additional 14 women on December 6, 1989.
