• According to reports, multiple student unions including the Concordia Student Union (CSU) and teaching staff have called for a protest at the intersection of Boulevard De Maisonneuve Ouest and Mackay Street in Montreal, QC at 15:00 (local time) on March 13.    
• The demonstration is being called to denounce education policies including the tuition fee hikes and alleged privatization of educational institutions.  

1. Based on social media estimates and given a similar protest held by CSU against fee hikes in Montreal on January 30, the upcoming protest will likely witness a turnout in the high hundreds to low thousands.  
2. Given precedent, the protest will transpire largely peacefully without incidents of unrest. Regardless, a bolstered security presence can be expected in the vicinity of the protest location to monitor proceedings and divert traffic.  
3. As such, localized disruptions to pedestrian and vehicular traffic can be expected near the protest location from 15:00 onwards.

Those operating or residing in Montreal, QC, on March 13 are advised to allot for disruptions to traffic in the vicinity of the aforementioned protest location during the evening hours due to the slated protest.
