CEIU observes Human Rights Day every year on December 10^th, as we commemorate the day on which, in 1948, the United nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.  Accordingly, on December 10^th we reflect on human rights in Canada and around the world.

We’ve all heard the story of the terrible events on December 6, 1989. It has been 30 years since an armed man walked into an Engineering class at École Polytechnique de Montréal, forced the men to leave, murdered 14 women and injured 10 others before taking his own life.
