Protestors set up pro-Palestine encampments at more universities

Encampments have been set up at several more universities across Canada. Protesters set up a temporary encampment at Western University on Wednesday, which remained until midnight. The University of Toronto informed protesters about its expectations for a peaceful protest after an encampment was set up on campus early Thursday morning. In British Columbia, pro-Palestinian protestors have set up encampments at the University of Victoria and Vancouver Island University. UVic told the Vancouver Sun that it is “taking a calm and thoughtful approach” to minimize any disruptions from the encampment, while VIU said that it is monitoring the situation on its campus.
