The Canadian Federation of Students was formed in 1981 to provide students with a united and effective voice both provincially and nationally. At the time, it was recognized that for students to be truly effective in representing their collective interests to the government it was vital to unite under one banner.

Now with over 500,000 members represented by more than 60 local students’ unions, the Canadian Federation of Students is the largest voice for post-secondary students in Canada. Manitoba’s five-member locals unite over 45,000 full- and part-time students.

For this reason, it’s vital that students organize collectively at both the provincial and national levels to ensure students’ rights and concerns are fully represented.

Solidarity Round-dance today in support of Wet'suwet'en Land Defence! The BC Supreme Court has ruled against Wet’suwet’en land defenders, permitting the forced removal of people and structures to aid in the construction of the Coastal GasLink (CGL) natural gas pipeline. This is in violation of Wet’suwet’en Law & makes a mockery of Canada’s reconciliation efforts. // Rassemblement de solidarité autochtone ... 1 Comments fetch 66 Likes
