Core offering

Canada Model United Nations (CANMUN) operates a two-day Model UN simulation conference for secondary school students, delivered both in-person (CANMUN 2025 at Sheraton Centre Toronto) and online (CANMUN 2026 via Zoom). The conference hosts nine committees across two formats — five General Assemblies (ICAO, SPECPOL, UNODC, UNOOSA, WHO) and four Crisis Committees spanning historical and fictional scenarios — and is supplemented by an annual Canadian MUN Networking Gala (CMNG). Delegates register through the mymun.com platform or Jotform and pay tiered registration fees scaled by early/late timing.

Product overview

Canada Model United Nations (CANMUN) operates as a student-led Model UN conference with a single unified conference product supplemented by networking events. The core offering is the two-day CANMUN conference featuring two committee types: five General Assembly committees (ICAO, SPECPOL, UNODC, UNOOSA, WHO) and four Crisis Committees (The Gilded Age, War Never Changes, The Queen's Gambit, AD HOC). Supporting services include Position Papers (written country position documents) and a Code of Conduct with equity reporting. A separate product, the Canadian MUN Networking Gala (CMNG), provides additional networking opportunities. The conference uses mymun.com as its registration and conference management platform.
