Le College de Valleyfield was the first CEGEP to vote in favor of the strike. Earlier this week, the Valleyfield College administration decided to force students to go back to school on Thursday, despite the students voting in favor of prolonging the strike in their last general assembly. Students reacted by blocking entry to the college all day yesterday. The Montreal-based Coalition la CLASSE organized buses to Valleyfield to support the picketing. Hundreds of people gathered around the College as early as 7 am.
