Canadian Union of Students
- Canadian Union of Students
The Canadian Union of Students (CUS) was an association that linked student unions at Canadian universities during the 1960s and 1970s. At one time a low-key organization for sharing expertise and jointly sponsoring services, it became increasingly political, suffering a major loss when the Quiet Revolution in Québec led student groups in that province to leave CUS to form the Union Générale des Étudiants de Québec. Other convulsions followed, and CUS eventually disintegrated. Various successors have come and gone, and student groups are now represented at the national level by the Canadian Federation of Students and the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations. The extensive files of the CUS national office, including multiple carbon copies of every outgoing letter over a period of many years, are now in the archives of McMaster University and form a major resource for research into Canadian higher education and social activism of its period.
