Fifteen students from Kincardine District Senior School (KDSS) were among six Bluewater District School Board secondary schools at the 53rd annual Southern Ontario Model United Nations (UN) Assembly conference in Toronto at the end of April.

The event brought student delegates from far and wide for an international relations simulation event, where the participants demonstrated their skills in debating, diplomacy, negotiation, and responsible global citizenship, among their provincial peers.

This is the oldest secondary school-run Model UN conference, and the largest in Canada. By taking on the personas of UN representatives, students learned about global issues, and worked together to devise peaceful and productive solutions to complex problems.

The KDSS Model UN team had a great time at the conference, bringing home three awards and a wealth of memories and experiences. From outer space to world finances to overthrowing Big Brother, the team members did it all, and worked hard to rise to the challenge.
