There is a gymnasium featuring a second floor jogging track. These facilities host numerous non-credit instructional programs such as aerobic classes and an extensive intramural program. Facility memberships are sold at Frank Kennedy Centre, Max Bell Centre and the Joe Doupe Centre. The governing body of UMSU is the UMSU Council. Every faculty, school, college, and residence at The University of Manitoba elects one or more representatives to UMSU Council based on their population.
Council meets every two weeks during the academic year, and once a month during the summer months.
These positions are effective as of May 1 of each year. All students are welcome to attend and take part in the functions of student government. The bursaries are awarded on the basis of your previous academic record and financial need.
