===Formation and relationship to the Unitarian Universalist Association===
The CUC formed on May 14, 1961, to be the national organization for Canadians within the about-to-form UUA (it formed a day later on May 15, 1961). And until 2002, almost all member congregations of the CUC were also members of the UUA and most services to CUC member congregations were provided by the UUA. However, after an agreement between the UUA and the CUC, since 2002 most services have been provided by the CUC to its own member congregations, with the UUA continuing to provide ministerial settlement services. And also since 2002, some Canadian congregations have continued to be members of both the UUA and CUC while others are members of only the CUC.

The Canadian Unitarian Universalist youth of the day disapproved of the 2002 change in relationship between the CUC and UUA.{{Citation needed|date=October 2009}} It is quite evident in the words of this statement, which was adopted by the attendees of the 2001 youth conference held at the Unitarian Church of Montreal:

<blockquote>We the youth of Canada are deeply concerned about the direction the CUC seems to be taking. As stewards of our faith, adults have a responsibility to take into consideration the concerns of youth. We are opposed to making this massive jump in our evolutionary progress.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://cuc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/canu_july2001.pdf |title=Debating the autonomy resolution — Youth are worried |access-date=2012-02-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150710041159/http://cuc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/canu_july2001.pdf |archive-date=2015-07-10 |url-status=dead }}</ref></blockquote>
