This 14 Not Forgotten Memorial commemorates the École Polytechnique tragedy on December 6, 1989. It also honours the lives and legacies of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, including LGBTQ and Two Spirit. people. This fire bowl uses symbolic design elements: the blue flag iris is the floral emblem of Quebec, traditional plants for Syilx people, and Interior Salish basketry aesthetics.
