1. (U)  Summary:  Mission Canada marked the International Day 
for the Elimination of Violence Against Women with a November 
25 digital video conference (DVC) that included an exchange 
of best practices among leading American, Canadian, and 
Portuguese governmental, NGO, and law enforcement experts. 
Mission Canada had earlier also hosted an August 20 DVC 
focusing on domestic violence in aboriginal communities. 
Mission Canada marked the 16 Days of Activism Against 
Gender-Based Violence by placing an op-ed by the State 
Department's Office of International Women's Issues (G/IWI) 
Director Andrea Bottner in leading Canadian national 
newspapers, and by visiting a shelter for victims of domestic 
violence.  The Canadian Prime Minister on the December 6 
National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against 
Women issued a statement honoring memories of all women who 
died as a result of violence and to do all possible to end 
such violence.   End Summary. 
 
2.  (U)  In response to ref a, Embassy Ottawa and ConGen 
Halifax marked the November 25 International Day for the 
Elimination of Violence against Women with a DVC on 
gender-based violence, featuring experts from G/IWI, the U.S. 
Department of Justice, U.S. Department of Health and Human 
Services, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 
and Embassy Lisbon.  The discussion shared best practices 
among experts in Canada, the U.S., and Portugal.  Issues 
included the Violence Against Women Act and the effectiveness 
of culturally-based programs in prevention.  Cecilia Van

Group on Family Violence and Manager of the Canadian Public 
Health Agency's Family Violence Prevention Unit, provided an

4.  (U)  In addition to DVCs, Mission Canada's public affairs

Statement by PM Harper on Canada's National Day of 
Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women, 2008 
 
OTTAWA 00001546  002 OF 002 
 
 
 
December 6, 2008 
 
December 6, 1989 was a tragic day in our history.  In what 
came to be known as the Montreal Massacre, 14 bright, 
talented young women were shot and killed in the halls and 
classrooms of their school, l'Ecole Polytechnique de 
Montreal.   The victims of this terrible crime were targeted 
solely because they were women. 
 
This tragedy sent shockwaves of grief and anger across Canada 
and beyond, and the outrage felt by so many fuelled a 
determination by Canadians to work together to end violence 
against women. 
 
With this tragedy etched on our hearts, December 6th is set 
aside each year as Canada's National Day of Remembrance and 
Action on Violence against Women.  It is a reminder that we 
must continue to work to end violence in all its forms. 
 
On this 19th commemoration of that painful day in 1989, I 
urge Canadians to honour the memories of all women who have 
died as a result of  violence, and to do what they can to 
work to end violence in all its forms.
