Women solidarity started to grow. Women encouraged other women to go and keep moving forward. Nathalie Provost, one of the survivors of the the Ecole Polytechniqie Massacre spoke out and encouraged women to not be afraid of studying engineering or anything subject that society claims is a man's world.

I have added some changes to the Wikipedia article "National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women." I added a portion of how Canada was pre Ecole Polytechinique Massacre. The Ecole Polytechinique Massacre is the reason why we have National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. I added the gun laws of Canada to compare and contrast how Canada's laws were post Ecole Polytechinique Massacre. The next portion I added was post Ecole Polytechinique Massacre and how Canada has changed its law and socially. My two other group members have respectfully did their portion of this project and we all collaborated equally.
