I should only ever have learned these names if I had met them as graduates or working in professional roles in the Canadian engineering sector.

Instead I memorized them decades ago while laying white roses at memorial gardens at other engineering schools.

With so much violence in the world & angry global rhetoric against marginalized groups - I cannot help but remember with sadness the 14 that died at École Polytechnique because of hateful rhetoric & one man's resentment towards those that dared to dream bigger than the misogynist world view he prescribed to.

Today, I carry forward their dream of a fairer world where anyone can be everything they want to be regardless of who they are 🌹🕯️🎗️.
