The Canadian Federation of Students was formed in 1981 to provide students with an effective and united voice, 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 600,000 members, represented by more than 80 students' unions, the Canadian Federation of Students is the voice of post-secondary students in Canada. There are 5 member locals in Manitoba uniting over 42,000 full- and part-time students.Universities and colleges are funded primarily by the federal government and administered exclusively by the provincial government. As such, government policies and priorities determine the quality and accessibility of post-secondary education in Canada.Tuition fee levels, students financial assistance programs and funding for research are all set directly or indirectly by both levels of government. It is vital that students collectively organise at the provincial and national levels to ensure students' rights and concerns are fully represented.STRENGTH IN NUMBERSNo individual students' union, no matter how big or active, has the resources or political clout on their own to effectively influence post-secondary education policies

How do I see the University Women's Club? I see three aspects to membership in this Club. The Social aspect is a major way of connecting with women in a positive atmosphere. The Intellectual aspect comes through our conversations, our programs and our Bridge days. The third aspect is advocacy for the betterment of women and girls. As examples, we demonstrate this in our daily attitudes and in our participation in the Winnipeg Council of Women and attendance at the LEAF breakfast every year. Look around. There are connections to be made and to hang on to. As we sing in the Recreational Singing group, 'Make new friends, but keep the old; one is silver and the other gold.'
