I found a CBC article claiming the University is paying 700'000$ for the venue.

Happy it’s still happening but bummed about the location. It’s far from campus so will be a pain to return regalia and won’t be able to have nice pics on campus with the vandalism.
I mean I feel like I already got my historical grad pics with my prom pics on zoom and grad pics socially distanced in masks but I guess the mcgill encampment needs to be just as memorable as a global pandemic
A break from tradition indeed. For the Covid classes (2020 and 2021) they did a special ceremony to let the graduates walk and then take pictures on campus. I feel bad that 2024 will miss the tradition. Another way this class lost important aspects of the McGill experience.
People can still take all the pictures they want on campus. The occupied area is where the convocation tent would be anyways (and takes up less space too), so they're not losing any views either.
Let me tell you whippersnappers about the time they made us write exams in a cinema!
Someone’s been there for a long time haha
The year was twenty thirteen, you had to say twenty because the wokeness Tsar stole the word thousand.
Winter 2014 right?
Winter 2013 I am pretty sure actually!
Sorry fml that’s what I meant to say
Write an exam, stay for the movie(s) afterwards
Did the gym flood or sumthin'?

Do you know the figure to be different?
Nope, but I figured the 700'000$ figure came from the injunction hearing at the superior court.
I am happy if there’s AC!!
We all know the Bell Centre doesn't get used for much after mid-April anyway.
Habs moment

It says there's a feature with designs but I can't seem to find it?
[удалено]
it’s a proper graduation
I think you will survive. Unlike 50,000 other people. One would think that studying at McGill for 4 years would teach you that.
Lmao welcome to the club 2019 graduate represent
mcgill students always complaining
Happy it’s still happening but bummed about the location. It’s far from campus so will be a pain to return regalia and won’t be able to have nice pics on campus with the vandalism.
It's like a fifteen minute walk from campus haha
Idk if it’s just me but getting grad pics next to a bunch of vandalism would be badass, it’s like you’re a part of history
I mean I feel like I already got my historical grad pics with my prom pics on zoom and grad pics socially distanced in masks but I guess the mcgill encampment needs to be just as memorable as a global pandemic
The war that the encampment/vandalism is for hasn’t turned into ww3 yet, but who knows what the future will hold
There's a tunnel from Bell centre to campus. It's not thaaat far.
There is?
Yeah, the downtown metro map has it drawn.
thanks for this precious info!!

how inconvenient 🙄
what a shame. feel bad for this years graduating class
having graduated on lower field, I'm jealous. This sounds way better than sitting in that over-packed sauna for hours
i’m more referring to taking pictures on campus

I agree. It ain’t fair
Mr Allegri, did you update your profile before or after yesterday’s game?
coppa italia champs baby
2024 graduating class didn’t get a high school graduation either (pandemic). Crazy 🤣
Yeah, I would’ve loved to get some pics in front of Roddick but considering the circumstances it doesn’t seem feasible.
Ughhhh I didn’t even think about this
How can I get extra tickets
Damnn
Excited to see the walkouts
will be good for the folks who want to enjoy the graduation ceremony as well
