      What

      the
      Canadian
      Federation
      of

      Good
     
     
      question.
      Here
      are
      some
      facts...
      |
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Basically,
      the
      Canadian
      Federation
      of
      Students
     
     
      (CFS)
      is
      Canada’s
      national
      organization
      for
      post-
     
     
      secondary
      students,
      with
      450.000
      members
      in
      some
     
     
      75
      student
      associations
      from
      universities,
      colleges,
     
     
      and
      institutes
      from
      all
      over
      the
      country.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      CFS
      is
      actually
      composed
      of
      two
      different
      but
      con-
     
     
      nected
      federations.
      The
      first
      is
      known
      simply
      as
      the
      -
     
     
      Canadian
      Federation
      of
      Students
      and
      represents
      the
     
     
      concerns
      of
      students
      and
      education
      on
      the
      national
     
     
      scene.
      It
      maintains
      an
      office
      and
      staffin
      Ottawa
     
     
      that
      is
      constantly
      engaged
      in
      lobbying
      the
      Federal
     
     
      government
      on
      the
      lack
      of
      proper
      funding
      for
      post-
     
     
      secondary
      education,
      barriers
      to
      accessibility
      in
     
     
      post-secondary
      education,
      the
      inadequacy
      of
      the
     
     
      present
      system
      of
      student
      loans,
      and
      other
      issues
     
     
      that
      affect
      students
      every
      day.
      It
      coordinates
      cam-
     
     
      paigns
      that
      are
      run
      on
      campuses
      all
      over
      Canada
      on
     
     
      issues
      of
      concern
      to
      students
      and
      the
      state
      of
      educa-
     
     
      tion
      in
      Canada
      and
      speaks
      to
      the
      media,
      politicians,
     
     
      and
      the
      general
      community
      on
      behalf
      of
      students.
     
     
      CFS
      was
      recently
      judged
      to
      be
      one
      of
      the
      ten
      most
     
     
      effective
      political
      lobby
      groups
      in
      Canada,
      an
      as-
     
     
      sessment
      further
      evidenced
      by
      the
      fact
      that
      the
     
     
      government
      has
      actually
      made
      a
      point
      of
      consulting
     
     
      CFS
      on
      such
      issues
      as
      proposed
      changes
      to
      the
     
     
      Canada
      Student
      Loan
      Program
      and
      the
      currentcon
