Dear Delegates, Teachers, and Staff,
CAHSMUN 2012 was an amazing experience for us and we hope it was for all of you as well. Special thanks to Seb Swic for making the CAHSMUN Film and photographer Edward Chang for his beautiful photos.
Please enjoy the CAHSMUN Film and remember everything you experienced that weekend that may shape your future and further your role in Model United Nations.
Sincerely,
The CAHSMUN Secretariat
CAHSMUN is staffed by volunteers on all levels and we seek to create a diverse and accepting environment for everyone involved in the organization of the conference each year. Being part of the CAHSMUN staff allows you to acquire and improve new skills, create long-lasting friendships, and gain more knowledge about our world.
As part of our vision to foster leadership in the community, the CAHSMUN Secretariat and committee staff are high school students in the Metro Vancouver region with prior Model UN experience as a delegate. The Secretariat received support and advice from the Board of Directors throughout the year.
The Board of Directors provides support and advice to the Secretariat throughout the school year, establishes continuity between each conference, and assumes legal and financial responsibilities of CAHSMUN as a non-profit organization. Ideal candidates for the Board of Directors should:
The committee staff are in charge of each committee's proceedings and substantive matters. Directors and Assistant Directors should have Model UN experience as a delegate and CAHSMUN will provide training on the rules of procedures and committee operations.

CAHSMUN Ambassadors
CAHSMUN is a student-led conference that thrives on dedication and passion for MUN. The newest addition to this conference, CAHSMUN Ambassadors, is comprised of a group of motivated and enthusiastic students that promote the values and principles of CAHSMUN. Help spread international awareness to your schools by reaching out to friends and the community. As an Ambassador, you will be the main communicator between fellow delegates and the Secretariat. Answer any questions they may have about MUN, and receive updates about the conference from the Secretariat. If you are interested in being a CAHSMUN Ambassador, please e-mail chiefofstaff@cahsmun.org for more information. We hope to see you there!
CAHSMUN Operations Staff
CAHSMUN is a conference that is fueled by volunteers. As a member of the Operations Staff, you will help the committees run smoothly by aiding the dais through a variety of tasks. In addition, you will be involved in organizing the opening ceremony, the social, and the closing ceremony. Working very closely with various committees, the Operation Staff will also be able to experience the atmosphere of several different committees, as well as learn about what happens behind the scenes at a MUN conference. If you are interested in becoming an Operations Staff member for CAHSMUN 2012, please e-mail chiefofstaff@cahsmun.org for more information. We look forward to working with you!
Dear prospective delegates and teachers,
It is with my distinct pleasure that I invite you to the 2012 Canadian High Schools Model United Nations! Since its inception in 2005, CAHSMUN has grown to become one of the largest high school conferences in Canada, attracting hundreds of delegates from different cultures and backgrounds each year. Now in its 8th year, our conference continues to provide three days of an unparalleled MUN experience. This year, CAHSMUN will be held on March 2 - 4, 2012 at the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre.
Each year, CAHSMUN delivers a simulation of diplomatic dialogue that allows delegates to explore international issues in a dynamic environment. Delegates are given the opportunity to debate, draft, and pass resolutions on pressing issues that affect the global community. Through representing various United Nations bodies and international organizations, delegates not only develop their analytical and communication skills, but they also develop global perspectives that contribute to their growth as students and leaders.
Our conference places strong emphasis on the experiences of delegates. By offering an eclectic range of committees, CAHSMUN creates platforms of debate for amateur and veteran delegates alike. Novice delegates should consider registering for the Foundations workshop, a CAHSMUN-sponsored program aimed to familiarize new or inexperienced delegates with the intricate world of MUN. Our conference sets the stage for debate on a variety of pertinent issues ranging from regional conflicts to historical crises. To further ensure the best experiences possible for our delegates, CAHSMUN is staffed by highly qualified volunteers from all over the Lower Mainland. Our staff have committed extensive amounts of time to guarantee a successful conference for all.
If there is anything we can do to assist you in preparing for our conference, please let us know. As committees and countries are given on a first-come first-served basis, we strongly encourage you to register for CAHSMUN as soon as possible. On behalf of our Secretariat and staff, thank you for your interest in CAHSMUN and we look forward to seeing you in March!
