Canadian High Schools Model United Nations (CAHSMUN)
Vancouver’s premier Model UN conference, Canadian High Schools Model United Nations (CAHSMUN) is an annual, three-day, student-led conference that simulates the United Nations experience for over 1300 attendees throughout British Columbia and Canada.With more than 20 years of rich history, CAHSMUN is highly reputable within the local community, and has been internationally recognized and commended by world leaders like United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres. We provide the opportunity and environment for students to talk about crucial global problems and to develop their public speaking, leadership, and critical thinking skills. CAHSMUN 2026 will take place from April 10th to 12th at the Sheraton Wall Centre in Vancouver. We are currently exploring suitable and qualified partners as potential sponsors for this event.
About the speaker
A junior at St. George’s School, Shuyou is honoured to serve as the Under-Secretary-General Outreach for CAHSMUN 2026. Beginning his Model UN journey in the common area outside of his grade 7 classroom, Shuyou is immensely grateful for the knowledge and skills he has accumulated in his MUN experience, and more importantly all the amazing people he has met. Upon stepping into his first conference, he was instantly captivated by the dazzling atmosphere of debate and nuanced research needed in each paper. While he enjoys the fun aspects of MUN (like sneaking out to order Japadog), Shuyou also appreciates the importance and benefit of genuine discourse in today's world—the most important of which being the curation of genuine empathy and kindness for others. Beyond invaluable new friendships, MUN has also inspired Shuyou’s interest in International Relations, leading to a revamped bookshelf with a new magnum opus front and center: a cracked spined copy of John Mearsheimer’s The Tragedy of Great Power Politics. Outside of MUN, Shuyou can be found bruising his heels triple jumping, annotating his treasured copy of Philip Freeman’s Julius Caesar, and being overwhelmed by Sanskrit declension patterns.
