LaSalle College is postponing the start of its school year by one day as it pushes back against a $30 million fine from the Quebec government related to the number of English-speaking students enrolled at the school.

The private downtown Montreal CEGEP was supposed to welcome students back on Monday, Aug. 25., but in an email to its community, announced Friday that all classes on that day are cancelled. The fall semester is now scheduled to begin on Tuesday, Aug. 26.
