OMUN 2026: A resounding success

Thank you so much to everyone who joined us for OMUN this year. Whether you participated as a delegate, chair, member of the crisis staff, volunteer, or part of the Secretariat, thank you for helping make this year’s conference something truly special.

With 35 participating schools and over 700 attendees — including school delegations, independent delegates, UCC delegates, committee chairs and vice-chairs, crisis staff, student volunteers, a media team, and faculty advisers—this was our biggest and most successful conference yet.

This year’s theme, “Power of the People,” came to life over two days of thoughtful dialogue and spirited debate across a wide range of committees and issues. The atmosphere throughout the conference was energetic, engaged, and genuinely inspiring. There were many highlights: 

• For the first time, students offered a free one-day bootcamp to support delegates who were new to MUN and help them feel confident and well prepared. 150 to 200 students attended.

• Our keynote speaker, CBC investigative journalist Jonathon Gatehouse, brought additional depth and excitement to the event.

• We also welcomed Year 7 students from the Prep for the first time, and it was especially exciting to see one of them recognized with an award at the Closing Ceremony.

• In addition, the conference community raised more than $1,000 for this year’s chosen charity, Horizons for Youth.

Year 11 students BZ Coleman-Goldkrand, John Mboutsiadis, and Aidan Fisher served as this year’s Secretaries-General, and they did an exceptional job. Their leadership, together with the tremendous work of the other members of the Secretariat, was instrumental in making the conference such a success. From the early stages of planning to the energy and professionalism of the conference itself, the student leadership was truly remarkable.
