Canada: Student activists plan march in central Montreal, Quebec Province, Oct. 30
Students plan march in central Montreal, Canada, from 13:00 Oct. 30 against increased fees for out-of-province students. Disruptions likely.
University student activists are planning a march through central Montreal, Quebec Province, Oct. 30. Activists plan to gather from 13:00 at Dorchester Square before marching up Peel Street, De Maisonneuve Boulevard, Mackay Street, and Sherbrooke Street, ending at Roddick Gates at McGill University. The action is to denounce the Quebec government's decision to double fees for out-of-province students attending English language schools.
The demonstration will likely be peaceful; nonetheless, a heightened security presence is likely in central Montreal. Localized transit and business disruptions are likely. Accompanying demonstrations are possible on the campuses of Concordia and McGill Universities.
Exercise caution near demonstrations. Plan for localized transit and business disruptions. Heed the directives of authorities.
