While the event is title "À l'UQAM en bobettes," which loosely translates to "Going To UQAM in Panties" in English, you can attend the protest in absolutely anything.
"You come dressed as you want. We want you to be 100% comfortable. It means that you come topless, in your most beautiful negligee or turtleneck, as you wish," a post on the Facebook event reads.
The protest begins at 4 p.m.* on Thursday "at the corner of Saint-Denis and Maisonneuve, in front of UQAM."
