Students from the Faculty of Law of the University of Sherbrooke found themselves in embarrassment on Wednesday after the publication of compromising photos.
The 2021-2022 Promotion Committee organized a Halloween party last weekend in a bar in Sherbrooke, but the sanitary rules, still in force, were not respected.
Dance, absence of physical distancing, non-wearing of a mask: the breaches of health rules were numerous.
At least that’s what photos posted by the organizing committee on Wednesday afternoon on Facebook showed.
According to the rules in force, dancing is prohibited in bars and customers must consume their drink while seated, until November 14.
“It’s a shame the rules weren’t followed. The organizing committee took care of the registrations, but when it comes to enforcing sanitary measures inside the bar, this is the responsibility of the establishment, ”said Félix-Adrien Fraser, spokesperson for the General Association of Law Students of the University of Sherbrooke.
“At first everything was fine, but when the alcohol started to kick in, that’s when it got tricky. We spent a good part of the evening playing police, asking the kids to sit down and put on their masks, but they weren’t listening. We expelled several students.
“We did everything to enforce the rules, we do not want trouble,” commented an employee who was on site that evening at the Bar du Chat Noir, where the party took place.
The 2021-2022 Promotion Committee, in charge of organizing the event, published 72 photos on Wednesday afternoon and removed them two hours later.
