Concordia University will be closed this Thursday for security concerns. At least 15 000 students, families and faculty are expected to attend Thursday's provide-wide demonstration against tuition hikes. Demonstrators will begin outside of Concordia's downtown campus and march towards Place du Canada. Mobilization is set to begin at 10:30 am. About 250 000 students are currently on strike across the province.
The demonstration has also affected the Concordia Student Union elections. A new day of polling has been added to make up for the missed day on Thursday. Election dates will now be March 20, 21, and 23.
