An Invitation - CANIMUN 2012

We are delighted to be presenting to you UNA-Canada's 8th Annual Canadian International Model United Nations event in Edmonton, Canada. This year's event promises to be a riveting example of today's young leaders, their capacity for dialogue and debate around pressing international issues, and the innovative solutions that result.

CANIMUN 2012 will focus on issues of global importance that particularly resonate within a Canadian context. In honour of the Rio +20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (being held in Rio de Janeiro, 20-22 June 2012), CANIMUN 2012 will engage a broad array of topics surrounding sustainable development and green economies, in addition to more traditional areas, such as disarmament and human rights. We are also pleased to offer one of the first simulations of UN Women, a body established in July 2010 which focuses on gender equality and women's empowerment. We encourage you to read through our side, familiarize yourself with the event, and please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

We looking forward to hearing from you and to seeing you at CANIMUN 2012.

Sincerely,

UNA-Canada CANIMUN Project Team
