- Patrick Boivin, athletic director in the Department of Recreation and Athletics, appeared as an analyst on the RDS program, Hockey 360. Boivin previewed possible NHL player transactions as the NHL trade deadline of Monday, February 29, approaches. Please note: Boivin will appear on the show also this evening, on Friday and throughout the day next Monday during RDS special coverage of the trade deadline.
- The McGill Daily writes about a petition calling on the Quebec government to introduce the study of genocide to the province's high school curriculum. The petition is part of a campaign by the Montreal-based Foundation for the Compulsory Study of Genocide in Schools, created and led by Heidi Berger, an instructor at Concordia's Centre for Continuing Education. Berger is quoted.
