Who We Are
The University of Regina Faculty Association (URFA) is a union of more than 1,500 professionals working to advance the academic mission of the University of Regina, Campion College, Luther College, and the First Nations University of Canada.
Members of URFA include faculty, sessionals, librarians, instructors, lab instructors and administrative, professional and technical (APT) employees across seven bargaining units on campuses in Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert, along with multiple satellite locations across the province.

URFA is run by a combination of volunteers and paid staff
Our Executive Director and our paid staff handle the day-to-day URFA operations. The staff and the Executive Director are directed by the Executive Committee who are elected from our membership. Additionally, volunteer members also run elected Committees and sit on Joint University Committees.
