Students in Montreal marched on the streets in mid‑October 2026 to show solidarity with French high‑school protests, calling for better learning conditions and increased funding.
The demonstrations echo the weeks‑long protests by French lycée students, who have been demanding improvements to education across France.
Organisers said the rallies aim to press governments to address a decade‑long staffing shortage, rising living costs, unpaid internships, low school funding and high university tuition.
