Anyone who enrolls in at least one course at Lakehead is automatically a member of LUSU. This makes all students (our members) entitled to an equal say in how your student union represents you and spends your union fees.

As an incorporated non-profit organization, we are guided by legislative documents such as the Not-for-Profit Corporations Act to ensure that we operate with accountability, transparency, and good governance.
