Club Resources
UMSU Clubs are a huge part of student life at the University of Manitoba. From promotion to event support and funding, UMSU is here to help your club succeed.
This page is dedicated to current UMSU Club executives and members, offering resources, tools and support to help you run your club effectively.
We’re still building this page! More club resources will be added soon. If you have any questions please reach out to studentclubs@umsu.ca
Events & Meeting Rooms
UMSU Clubs have exclusive access to a variety of spaces in Helen Glass Centre, the 5th Floor of UMSU University Centre and a Multi-Purpose Room on the 1st Floor of UMSU University Centre.
Spaces are available Monday to Friday and can be requested here.
You can also request rooms at the University of Manitoba’s Fort Garry and Bannatyne campuses for non-academic activities.
Table Booking
UMSU Clubs can book free tables on the 1st floor of the UMSU University Centre to promote their activities and connect with students. Spaces fill up quickly, so clubs are encouraged to book as far in advance as possible. Free tables are intended to support club‑focused promotion and may be used to:
- Promote your club’s mission, initiatives and activities
- Recruit new members
- Share information about club‑run events
- Display club‑created materials or merchandise
Event Support
Planning an event? These guides and resources are here to help you bring your idea to life, from start to finish.

If you are presenting an event and wish to have food supplied by an outside food service provider, please complete this form in full and return it to Conference & Catering Services no later than ten (10) business days prior to your event.
Certificate of Insurance
Insurance requests should be submitted at least 10 business days prior to the event date. There is no guarantee that you will receive the COI with less notice. Please complete the following steps, and return to jzhao@umsu.ca and cc mchomyn@umsu.ca
- Complete the Certificate Request Form
- Note #1: Please check with the third party on what type of certificate is required.
- Note #2: The certificate holder is usually the space provider and caterer, not the student’s personal name or their organization’s name.
- Forward a copy of the rental/catering agreement with specific insurance requirements written in the agreement.
- Note: For external third-party agreements (other than the University of Manitoba and Aramark), the signee’s name should be “UMSU, on behalf of [Your Organization’s Legal Name],” and an authorized UMSU signer will review and sign the contract on your behalf.
- For high-risk events, a Liability Waiver needs to be signed by all participants
