The annual December 6 vigil for the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women brought the community together at Owen Sound's Market Building today.
Nearly 100 people were on hand for prayers, drumming, singing and reflections on the 33 years that have passed since the Montreal massacre that took the lives of 14 women at the École Polytechnique in 1989.
