National Student Press Week

National Student Press Week

On January 24, 2005, during its 67th national conference in Edmonton, Alberta, the members of Canadian University Press, a co-operative and newswire service composed of about 70 student newspapers, unanimously declared the last full week of every January, Sunday to Saturday, National Student Press Week.

National Student Press Week celebrates the achievements, diversity and freedom of the student press. It also provides an opportunity to educate students and the public about the important role the student press plays on Canadian university and college campuses, and in building the future of Canadian journalism.

The city of Prince George, British Columbia, became the first jurisdiction to formally recognize National Student Press Week in February 2005. The Cape Breton Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia, followed with a proclamation in March. Other governments across Canada also proclaimed National Student Press Week that year.

The first annual National Student Press Week was observed in 2005 from 23 January to 29 January.

In 2008, the week will take place from 20 January to 26 January; in 2009, from 25 January to 31 January; and in 2010, from 24 January to 30 January.
