They gave away white roses at BCIT on the anniversary of the massacre.

^ I remember they did that at Kwantlen and SFU as well.

At Kwantlen they have a little memorial with candles, etc...they always have a little ceremony today.

Not sure about SFU.

I was 8 but I remember it being a sad event. Later I remember my dad wasn't looking forward to stricter gun laws he knew would come especially since the gunman used the same mini-14 he has.

There is a decent film on the event called Polytechnique which came out a few years ago. Its filmed in black and white from various perspectives. Its a similar style to the film Elephant, a fictional tale of a HS shooting.


EDIT: here's the trailer for the film

Wow...that trailer is gut-wrenching. Not sure I could sit through the film.

That Moby song always makes me sad for some reason. Good choice.

Thanks for posting
