National Remembrance Day Women

Six women who were murdered in Northwestern Ontario at the hands of their partner are to be remembered in a dedication next week.

The Atikokan Crisis Centre will be planting the trees in front of its second-stage complex.

Executive Director Donna Kroocmo says its important to have a visual reminder that violence against women happens here.

The dedication will coincide with National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women and the 20th anniversary of the 14 women killed at a Montreal University.
