National Student Press Week is a week-long observance celebrating the achievements, diversity and freedom of the student press in Canada. 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. It takes places on the last full week of every January.
It was established on January 24, 2005, by members of the Canadian University Press—a co-operative and newswire service composed of about 70 student newspapers—during its 67th national conference in Edmonton, Alberta.
