Here at LUSU, we are run and guided directly by Lakehead University students.

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.

Our constitution, developed over decades by students just like you, is the foundational document that sets the rules for how we operate and what we focus on. A democratic approach to all decisions ensures that LUSU is run fairly and efficiently, and keeps us staying accountable to the community which we aim to serve.

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