CapU holds CFS membership vote

Capilano University students will soon head to the polls to decide whether or not they want to remain members of the Canadian Federation of Students.

Capilano University students will soon head to the polls to decide whether or not they want to remain members of the Canadian Federation of Students.

A referendum will be held on all three campuses during the week of March 24 to 28, asking students to vote on whether or not they want to continue membership with the CFS and its provincial component, CFS-BC.

Last year, Capilano students submitted petitions to the federal and provincial student organizations calling for a membership referendum. According to a press release, the Capilano Students' Union recently received confirmation from both the CFS national executive and the CFS-BC executive committee that these petitions are in good order.

"This membership referendum will allow Capilano students, our members, to have their say on whether they want to continue to be a part of the CFS, both nationally and provincially, and whether they feel that the CFS is an organization that meets their needs," said CSU chairperson, Brandon Hofmarks, in the press release.

Polling hours will be determined by the CFS and CFS-BC chief returning officer.
