EVA BC is deeply saddened to learn about the attack in Côte-des-Neiges, Montreal. The violence in Montreal resulted in the deaths of a community member and a police officer and has left families and communities grieving – our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the loved ones of those who lost their lives at this time.

Reports indicate that the shooter authored an 'Anti-Women' Manifesto outlining misogynistic and anti-feminist extremist views. We recognize this investigation is ongoing, however these reported motivations are deeply concerning and reflect a growing pattern of male violence connected to misogyny and hate.

Prevention must become a priority, Read our statement here: https://endingviolence.org/statement-cotes-des-neiges/
