Description:
This commemorative work is part of Place du 6 décembre 1989, a memorial public place dedicated to the fourteen victims of the École Polytechnique de Montréal Massacre. Seven granite arches are installed next to each other at irregular intervals, on either side of the footpath. Visitors can read the name of one of the deceased written in inverted letters. The first letter of each name consists of a stainless steel '"commemorative stone". At the base of each of these monuments, the date of birth and date of death of the young woman is written. Two rows of trees are aligned parallel to this memorial.
