National discount programs
Faculty represented by FAUW are also members of CAUT (the Canadian Association of University Teachers) and OCUFA (the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations). Both organizations offer discount programs.
CAUT affinity program
Through the Canadian Association of University Teachers, FAUW members are eligible for their affinity program, which provides discounts on hotels, car rentals, airport parking, and various insurance plans.
