Protests and vigils marked October 7th as students, faculty, and community members expressed their grief and anger about the last year of conflict in the Middle East. At McGill University, students and faculty groups held peaceful events planned in collaboration with university administration. The Montréal Gazette additionally reports that pro-Palestinian protesters met at Concordia University’s Hall Building and marched to McGill’s campus. Though McGill’s campus was closed to the public, some protesters breached security and vandalized a building, with police using tear gas to disperse protesters. University of Regina students and faculty participated in a walkout and protest to draw attention to the violence taking place in the Middle East and advocate for Canada to intervene.
