Western Canada High School’s Model United Nations team has had an ongoing rivalry with Sir Winston Churchill’s Model United Nations team for some time now, and on February 23rd and 24th at the University of Calgary High School Model United Nations Conference, Western received the Best Delegation Award for their strong efforts and unwavering dedication to success, as well as a Verbal Commendation for the Delegation of Indonesia.
The decorum and diplomacy that was displayed by Western Canada High School’s delegates during the conference was well above the expected level. Each delegate had thoroughly researched the policies of his or her respective country, as well as that of other states to ensure he or she was adequately prepared for intellectual debate on foreign affairs. However, the strength these students had did not go unnoticed, as many single delegates won the Best Delegate award in their council in addition to receiving Verbal Commendations and Honorable Mentions.
Although the University of Calgary HSMUN conference was the last of the season, Western Canada High School is very adamant about remaining one of the upmost competitive HSMUN committees in Alberta and is always welcoming new students who are interested in politics and debate, and who would like to become a part of this excellent organization.
