What is BCMUN
British Columbia Model United Nations (BCMUN) is a highly anticipated two-day hotel conference that takes place annually in the beautiful city of Vancouver, BC. The conference offers high school students from around the world an opportunity to practice their public speaking, debate, diplomatic attitudes, and critical thinking skills. BCMUN provides an environment that is conducive to personal growth and learning, enabling students to develop the skills necessary to become effective communicators and future leaders.
With BCMUN, hundreds of students can learn about different world issues and make new friendships. The conference offers a diverse range of committees, from UN General Assemblies to advanced crisis committees, where students can discuss and debate global issues such as climate change, nuclear disarmament, and human rights. BCMUN's committee simulations allow students to gain a deeper understanding of various perspectives and cultures. It provides an atmosphere that fosters the sharing of ideas and cultural exchange, while also allowing students to form connections with peers from around the world.

Our missions
Academic Enrichment
BCMUN offers an unparalleled level of academic enrichment towards all delegates. The hiring process of our Dias members are highly selective; only the most qualified candidates are chosen to guide participants. Moreover, we offer personalized and meaningful support to delegates, exposing them to the world of Model UN. Regardless of whether you are a new delegate, or a MUN veteran who has participated in dozens of conferences, BCMUN will offer a rewarding experience full of knowledge and friendships.
"The youth are our future leaders." BCMUN believes that this could not be more true; our conference is run exclusively by high-school students. We hope that through the lens of upcoming leaders, BCMUN is able to foster the highest level of personal development across all participants.
Raising Awareness of Global Events
BCMUN started off as an online conference; we hoped that this would enable voices from all over the world to speak to the youth from Vancouver. This year, although British Columbia Model United Nations is moving in person, we still aim to have delegates from all over the world still connect at our conference. Our committees and topics are designed so that participants can enrich their knowledge of our world's current position. With staff members who are experts in their respective topics, we are confident that BCMUN will be an exquisite experience for everyone.
