About Us
The Canadian High Schools Model United Nations Conference (CAHSMUN) is the largest high school conference of its kind in Western Canada. Organized annually in Vancouver, BC Canada, CAHSMUN attracts experienced and new Model UN participants from high schools all over Canada.
CAHSMUN was founded in 2005, then known as Richmond Model United Nations. As a grassroots project initiated by the founding members of the Board of Directors, RMUN sought to increase awareness in global issues amongst high school students in the neighborhoods of Metro Vancouver. As the conference expands nationally, CAHSMUN continues the ideals of RMUN by reaching out to high schools of all types in all parts of the country to encourage greater participation in an activity that brings together knowledge in international politics and public speaking, professional writing, and negotiation skills. Hosted in a city renowned for its diversity, CAHSMUN also promotes the spirit of the United Nations that the peoples of the world can coexist without harm or threat.
