This year's winner of the order of the White Rose scholarship has been announced.

The $30,000 prize is awarded every year in memory of the victims of the Polytechnique Massacre.

Engineering physics graduate Liane Bernstein is this year's recipient.

The scholarship goes to Canadian female engineering students about to pursue post-graduate studies.

 

Memorial services will take place Tuesday to honour the 14 women killed at Ecole Polytechnique 27 years ago.

In the morning, 14 white roses will be placed in front of a commemorative plaque, and flags at the university will fly at half-mast from dawn to dusk.

A vigil will also be held at the Mount Royal lookout at 5 p.m.

Services will also take place across the country. In Ottawa, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will lay flowers on Parliament Hill.

On this day in 1989, a gunman walked into the engineering school and killed 13 students and one staff member.
