Marker of Change



Yesterday I visited East Vancouver's Thornton Park to sit seat-by-seat around Beth Alber's monument to women. Entitled Marker of Change (1994), the work consists of 14 benches -- one for each woman executed by a gunman at the l'Ecole Polytechnique, University of Montreal on December 6, 1989.
