OTTAWA — Parties after an annual football match between rival Ottawa universities led to chaos, arrests and dozens of tickets in the past couple of years, with students climbing light poles, starting fights and even flipping a car in October 2021.
But this year, police and university officials say student behaviour was much tamer, with only two people arrested for public intoxication before the University of Ottawa versus Carleton University matchup.
Eric Bercier, the associate vice-president of student affairs at uOttawa, said about 4,000 students attended each event."Students want to celebrate. They're willing to celebrate in a good way for neighbours. They need a place to do so," said Bercier. "We noticed that the student behaviour this year was very co-operative, especially compared to 2022 and 2021," he said.
