Each year in November, CFUW Burlington does fundraising on behalf of the CFUW / FCFDU 1989 Ecole Polytechnique Commemorative Award, an award established by CFUW National in 1990 to honour the memory of the 14 women students who were gunned down at École Polytechnique on December 6, 1989*

Donations collected in November for this award by our chapter will be packaged and forwarded to the CFUW Charitable Trust.  Please join us by making a donation.

*The École Polytechnique Commemorative Award has been granted at $7,000 annually for several years, and in 2011, for the first time, CFUW was able to give two awards totaling $12,000 – one at $7,000 and one at $5,000. This award is considered one of the most prestigious offered by CFUW, and the Fellowship Committee reports that the applications for it are numerous and of very high quality. 

This annual collection of funds acts as a living memorial to the victims of the massacre and helps to ensure that the two awards will continue to be funded in the years ahead.
