An encampment is now set up outside a Maritime university in solidarity with Palestinian people in Gaza amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
More than a dozen tents could been seen outside Dalhousie University in Halifax on Monday morning.
The encampment began on Sunday on the school’s Studley Quad.
The encampment appears to be organized the group Students for the Liberation of Palestine - Kjipuktuk (Halifax).
The group says they are an “autonomous coalition of students from across Dalhousie University, Saint Mary’s University, the University of King’s College, and NSCAD University.”
A series of posts on the group’s Instagram page says it is calling on universities to disclose, and divest from, any investments they say are complicit in Israel’s occupation of Palestine.
