Thousands of students at several Quebec institutions are set to begin a strike during the week of November 9 to 15, 2026, to protest provincial austerity measures and the increasing precarity they face.
The planned walkout involves campuses at Université du Québec à Montréal, Université du Québec à Rimouski, Université de Sherbrooke, Université Laval, Cégep de Drummondville and Cégep de Maisonneuve.
Student groups have organized the action in response to recent budget cuts that affect higher education across the province.
