The University of Manitoba Students' Union (UMSU) is the university-wide representative body for undergraduate students at the University of Manitoba, located in Winnipeg, Manitoba. UMSU was established in 1919, replacing the former University of Manitoba Students' Association founded in 1914. Its head office is located in UMSU University Centre—a large, Modernist architecture building designed by Canadian architect Isadore (Issie) Coop at UM's Fort Garry Campus that serves as the university's activity hub. UMSU is funded by mandatory student organization fees, included in tuition fees; upon paying their fees, students become full members of the Students' Union. For the 2020-2021 school year, the mandatory UMSU fee was CAD$115.32 per term, $58.52 of which goes to UMSU itself. The executive and community representatives of the Union are elected during the UMSU General Election.

University of Manitoba

The University of Manitoba (U of M, UManitoba, or UM) is a Canadian public research university in the province of Manitoba. Founded in 1877, it is the first university of western Canada.Both by total student enrolment and campus area, the U of M is the largest university in the province of Manitoba and the 17th-largest in all of Canada. Its main campus is located in the Fort Garry neighbourhood of southern Winnipeg, with other campuses throughout the city. Along with the Fort Garry campus as its central hub, the University of Manitoba operates three other major locations: the Bannatyne Campus, the James W. Burns Executive Education Centre, and the William Norrie Centre. In addition, the university also administers its French-language affiliate, Université de Saint-Boniface in the Saint Boniface ward of Winnipeg. The university claims to maintain a reputation as a top research-intensive post-secondary educational institution, conducting more research annually than any other university in the region; its competitive academic and research programs have also consistently ranked among the top in the Canadian Prairies. Research at the University of Manitoba has accordingly produced various world-renowned contributions, including the creation of canola oil in the 1970s. Likewise, U of M alumni include Nobel Prize recipients, Academy Award winners, Order of Merit recipients, and Olympic medalists, among many others. As of 2019, there have been 99 Rhodes Scholarship recipients from the U of M, more than that of any other university in western Canada. Moreover, the university has produced countless government figures, including provincial premiers, Supreme Court justices, and Members of Parliament (MPs). The U of M is also a member of the U15 group of research-intensive universities in Canada and of Universities Canada, while its global affiliations include the International Association of Universities and the Association of Commonwealth Universities. The Manitoba Bisons represent the team in athletics as a member of U Sports and Canada West Universities Athletic Association (CWUAA).

It is home to the Manitoba Bisons men's and women's hockey teams and was also used as a venue for inline hockey during the 1999 Pan American Games. The arena has also been host to the WHL team Winnipeg Ice since it relocated to Winnipeg in 2019. Prior to the start of the 2019-2020 Western Hockey League regular season, seating capacity at Wayne Fleming Arena was increased from 1,400 to 1,600, with a new balcony added on the east side of the arena. The balcony includes Premium Loge Seating which provide patrons with an excellent elevated view of the ice surface. In addition, a Fort Garry Brewing Co. Party Lounge beneath the loge provides a close-up view of the action at ice level. As part of that expansion, a new centre-hung scoreboard with video replay capabilities was added, as well as additional food and beverage kiosks. In 2021, a new energy-efficient ice plant was installed in the arena with funding from the Government of Canada and the University of Manitoba.The fieldhouse features two tracks and a large multipurpose infield. It has a seating capacity of 1,350 for track meets and other sporting events. The fieldhouse hosts the Manitoba Bisons track and field team. The complex is named after Canadian businessman and philanthropist Max Bell. The hockey arena portion of the complex is named in honour of the late Wayne Fleming. Fleming played for and coached the Bisons men's hockey team before moving onto a distinguished coaching career in professional hockey. The fieldhouse portion of the complex is named after the late James Morgan Cuthbert Daly who was a avid runner and coach in Winnipeg.
