With many fun and engaging events that sport traditional Filipino games, activities, hangouts and sporting events; CUFSA exists as an opportunity to build lifelong friendships and networks that extend far beyond our campus’ borders.

The CFA provides the students of Carleton University the opportunity to learn about firearms sports in Canada. This includes, but is not limited to, different shooting sports disciplines, firearms safety, proper storage, handling, legal transportation, and care.  We aspire to educate people about firearms and the community that surrounds them, both locally and nationally. We also allow students to experience different types of firearms with an emphasis on competitive shooting sports.  The CFA is an apolitical, non-partisan and non-profit organization.

CUJA was started in 2008-2009 and has been in active continuance since then as a social and cultural club. The aim of CUJA is to create a social environment for Japanese speakers and enthusiasts as well as Japanese International students to mingle and socialize in a controlled environment/safe space maintained by CUJA executives, along the guidelines outlined in our constitution and by CUSA. While running CUJA is an important job, please remember that you are a student first, and running the club should not come at a hindrance to your education, which is one of the reasons for this guide. With that being said, it can be a fun and rewarding activity overall, as well as a great way to meet new people and demonstrate leadership skills.
