Anne-Marie Lemay, 22, was a fourth-year mechanical engineering student. She was near graduation and was helping to organize the festivities, along with raising funds for a class trip abroad. 11/16
Sonia Pelletier, 23, was the youngest of eight children, from a tiny village in the Gaspé region. She was set to graduate from mechanical engineering the very next day. 12/16
Second-year metallurgical engineering student Michèle Richard, 21, was giving a class presentation when she was killed. She was about to get married and had recently reconciled with her long-estranged father. 13/16
Annie St-Arneault, 23, was a mechanical engineering student from La Tuque, Que. She had a job interview with Alcan Aluminum scheduled for the following day. 14/16
Annie Turcotte, 21, was a first-year metallurgical engineering student with dreams of improving the environment. She was described as gentle and athletic, and enjoyed diving and swimming. 15/16
Where would these women be now? Many would be in their 50s, at the peak of their engineering careers and in senior positions. Some would be mothers, grandmothers, even. Instead, Canadians are honouring their memory today. 16/16 cbc.ca/montreal/featu…
