PROCLAMATION:

Whereas we are committed to achieving full equality for women in all aspects of life;

“Vhereas as Canadians, we value the inherent worth and dignity of every individual and we
expect all persons to treat one another with respect;

Whereas violence and the threat of violence are depriving many women of their ability to
achieve equality, we declare that:

1. Violence against women is a crime and punishable under the law;

Women are entitled to live in a safe environment;

2
3. Offenders must be held accountable for their behaviour;
4

The elimination of violence against women requires a response including prevention, public
education, services and enforcement of the law; and

Every individual, community and government in Canada must do everything possible to
help women, children and familiies affected by violence; we must all work together to
achieve a society iree from violence.

And whereas 14 young women lost their lives tragically on this date in 1989 at Ecole
Polytechnique in Montréal,

Now therefore I, Leonard M. Traboulay, Mayor of the Corporation of The City of Port
Coquitlam, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM this day, December 6th, 1993, as

"NATIONAL DAY OF REMEMBRANCE AND
ACTION ON VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN"

in the City of Port Coquitlam.
