Administrative history
The Student Christian Movement of Canada (SCM), formed in 1921, is a national, student-based ecumenical organization that grew out of the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions (US) and the Young Men’s Christian Association and Young Women’s Christian Association in Canada.
In 1919, prior to the Des Moines Quadrennial Convention of the Student Volunteer Movement, Canadian delegates held a one day conference to discuss issues specific to Canadian students. At the first Canadian National Student Conference, held from December 29, 1920 to January 2, 1921 in Guelph, the Student Christian Movement of Canada was formed. The Basis and Aim of the SCM was approved at that time.
The SCM has over time focused on many social issues, including capitalism and labour; international relations and peace; race relations, including French Canada, Japanese and other minorities, Indigenous peoples; student and people’s solidarity; women’s rights; and gay and lesbian rights.
The SCM continues to be an active organization across Canada.
