WHY VMUN?

QUALITY — VMUN strives to provide high-school students with the highest quality conference possible. Our Committee Staff have extensive Model UN and debate experience and undergo comprehensive staff training prior to the conference. Committee Directors write background guides over the summer, which are rigorously reviewed to ensure excellence in their work. VMUN prides itself in its insightful and informative delegate preparation materials. In addition, each year, we invite a prominent individual to our Opening Ceremony to talk about their experiences in Canadian and international politics. Past keynote speakers have included Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the Hon. Lieutenant-General Roméo Dallaire, and journalist and humanitarian Amanda Lindhout. VMUN is the optimal platform for delegates to exchange their views and engage in discussion. Delegates will gain a broader understanding of world events and will learn how to develop informed opinions.

LOCATION — VMUN is held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in the heart of downtown Vancouver, British Columbia. The hotel offers spacious guest rooms and professional meeting spaces to ensure an unprecedented experience for all delegates. In-between committee sessions, delegates have the opportunity to explore one of Canada’s most beautiful cities. From the Vancouver Convention Centre and Rogers Arena to the unique shops of Robson Street and the greenery of Stanley Park, one will not cease to be disappointed by Vancouver’s diversity of culture, people, and experience.

ACCESSIBILITY — VMUN is proud to offer substantial financial aid packages. No delegate should be denied the experience of a lifetime due to financial hardship, and we are committed to supporting delegates regardless of financial background. Financial aid is also available to subsidize or waive school fees, such as chaperone teacher room fees or deposits. Please contact sg@vmun.com for more information about financial aid.

SCOPE — VMUN brings together over one thousand passionate students who seek to instigate global change and solve societal issues. The array of backgrounds and perspectives of delegates from near and far make this unique experience all the more special. To complement this great variety of interest, VMUN 2019 will feature 20 committees, including some regional assemblies outside of the United Nations, such as the Canadian House of Commons, the European Union, and the Indian Ocean Rim Association. With VMUN’s diversity, every delegate will find a committee that speaks to them.
