Canadian Student Union Database Now Online

I have finally completed the Canadian Student Union Database. This database contains links to all the student unions in Canada that I have come across, as well as links to Contact page (basic contact information), Executive page (list of elected officials), and Documents page (constitution, bylaws, policies and procedures, etc.). I have also included a list of affiliations to national and provincial student organizations.

The Canadian student movement is much larger than many people think. It includes CFS unions, CASA unions, and many unaffiliated unions; it is anglophone and francophone; it includes students at very large and very small institutions; it ranges from right-wing to very left-wing. Many elected officials only learn about a very small part of the entire Canadian student movement. This database will not rectify this problem overnight, but hopefully it will begin to create links between student unions that have not previously existed.

Please feel free to send me corrections, additions and suggested improvements to this database!

This is much more useful to many people compared to the Canadian Studens' Union Directory that is annually printed by the CFS.
