Resolutions

Any CFUW club in BC can write and propose a provincial or national resolution. All proposed resolutions are sent out to CFUW clubs for review, feedback and suggested amendments.  Once finalized, all proposed resolutions are voted on by CFUW clubs before they can be adopted as either a CFUW provincial or national policy. CFUW prioritizes advocacy on adopted policy resolutions.
