The Quebec Summit on Higher Education began on Monday, following months of planning and protesting. Several small demonstrations were held during the day, with a larger protest at night that, while largely peaceful, ended with two arrests.

The second day of the Summit saw a large demonstration of approximately 5000 people, organized by Association pour une solidarité syndicale étudiante. The demonstration lasted for roughly four hours, and ended with twelve arrests.
