Student strike persists

According to CBC, a student sit-in protest at l’Université à Montréal on Sainte-Catherine turned into an overnight event on Monday.

Students began to bring out chairs from the university and played music and made art.

These students were mostly from UQAM and CÉGEP Vieux-Montréal.

The strike began in the morning and blocked off traffic at the intersection of Sainte Chatherine and Sanguinet.

Protests in Quebec City at l’Université Laval lead to an arrest after access to the education building and many administrative offices were blocked.

At Université du Québec à Montréal, administrators locked four buildings in order to prevent students from occupying the buildings.

Roughly 130, 000 college and university students are now on strike due to upcoming tuition hikes.
