Students’ Council
Students' Council is the ultimate authority in the Students' Union. It consists of up to 28 members:
- The Speaker (non-voting)
- The President of the Students' Union
- The four Vice-Presidents
- The Undergraduate Board of Governors Representative
- 19 Faculty Councillors (distributed on a representation by population principle)
- The General Manager (non-voting)
- The Chief Returning Officer (non-voting)
Together, these individuals are responsible for fulfilling the mandate of the Students' Union. This mandate comes from the Post Secondary Learning Act.
Students' Councillors represent their faculty at Council meetings and are expected to adhere to the Students' Council Oath. Councillors consult with their constituents and collaborate with fellow Councillors to act as an advocate for students. Councillors are expected to show interest in the many committees of Council and be actively attending meetings.
Students’ Council Standing Orders
Standing Orders are the rules that govern how meetings are conducted. They describe who sits on a committee, what kind of business that committee does, and how it calls and conducts its meetings.
Order Papers
As per Standing Orders of Students' Council, Order Papers for all scheduled meetings will be posted no later than 5:00pm on the 2nd business day prior to each meeting date.
Votes and Proceedings
Votes and Proceedings for Students' Council are posted after they are approved, which generally occurs at the subsequent meeting. Therefore some recent minutes will not yet be listed.
Audio Recordings
Wherever possible, audio recordings of Students' Council meetings are produced. All community members are welcome to listen to the public portions of any recorded Students' Council meeting.
Students’ Council Meetings
Meetings vary in length (depending on how much business there is that week) and are open to the public except when Council moves in-camera to discuss sensitive business. Students' Council meetings typically occur in Council Chambers (located next to Van Vliet). If you cannot attend in person, you can also observe Council virtually.
Students' Council welcomes input from the public during meetings, but please be aware that all meetings of the Council observe Robert's Rules of Order and, therefore, speaking turns may only occur during certain sections of a meeting.
