Student journalism and Occupy Montreal

On Oct. 15, 2011, Montreal set up camp at Victoria Square. Within days, the square was full of tents. Montreal police evicted protesters on Nov. 25, but they moved to the gazebo at Mount Royal. They were evicted from there on Dec. 1. 

Here is some work from Concordia's j-students.

Photojournalist Peter Haeghaert spent time living with the Occupiers and photographed the faces of the Montreal movement.

Adam Kovac covered the eviction of Occupy Montreal — from the Bran Van 3000 concert, to the friendly relations with police.

But before the movement even arrived in Montreal, Laura Beeston spoke to Adbusters senior editor Micah White about what the alternative mag was calling for back in July when they spurred the idea for the Occupy protests. 

Some Concordia students even travelled to New York City, where they commented on the fact that Zucotti Park had become another tourist attraction in Manhattan.
