The Student’s Union:
You want to start an event, spark a movement, or change a nation? We’re going to give you the tools to do it.
The Students’ Union gives you the opportunity to take your university experience outside of the classroom. We head over 300 clubs and volunteer committees, work to represent your interests to the University as well as the Provincial and Federal Governments. The Union is a great way to get involved, either by joining a club, attending event, using a service like Food Bank or Foot patrol, or volunteering.
You can start small or dive right in, we’ll be here to help every step of the way.
