Each fall, the TCSA holds a by-election to fill any vacant positions on our student Board of Directors. We encourage all students to run for a position and get involved with the student union. Due to the current limitations on social gatherings the Association is facilitating its Elections digitally this year.

Any students interested in running for one of the vacant positions below can download a nomination package from our Elections page. Nomination packages are due via email by 4pm on Friday, October 2, 2020. Candidates may also pick up and submit nomination packages in the TCSA office. Our office hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm (closed from 1pm to 2pm) for cleaning.

Vice-President Student Health & Wellness
