Polytechnique expands women’s award

The Polytechnique used to grant the White Rose award to a single female engineering student annually around this time of year, but they’ve widened the award to fourteen women students who each get a $50,000 scholarship in memory of the fourteen victims of the 1989 massacre to help them extend their education.

(CBC radio news reader said that a grant recipient was “not alive” when the massacre occurred. I think he could have said “not yet born”…)
