The values and missions of AÉCSP

Through events and activities offered to its members, the AÉCSP association enacts a fellowship spirit among students to allow for various encounters and a pleasant worth-carrying experience at Polytechnique.
AÉCSP handles key community services (e.g. health insurance) and more comforting appliances (e.g. hot drinks at the student lounge). We also develop partnershipsadressing the needs and requests from the community with the goal to improve the students’ daily lives.

We take issues linked withsustainable development very seriouslyand they are one of AÉCSP’s main priorities. Such challanges are adressed in our events as we put forward environmentally-friendly activities which are affordable and diverse. Sustainability is also taken into account in the services we provideand our communications.
We are further strivingto informthe student community on these challenges and to have academic and professional curricula take them into account.
The AÉCSP political positions
The AÉCSP advocates for specific positions on different issues to ensure continuance in our claims and to spread the word to extenal stakeholders. Here are two examples of important political positions decided by the association:
- “AÉCSP positions itself in favor of lowering fossil fuel industry activity to achieve a green transition.” (adopted by the members’ assembly in 2015) This position enacts a strategy of reducing the environmental impact of the association.
“ AÉCSP positions itself in favor of the reinstatement of a Canada registry of firearms. .” (adopted by the board of directors in 2018) This policy reiterates support for the control of firearms to limit the risk of shootings, which were notably suffered from by the Polytechnique student community in 1989.
