The Rotary Club of Estevan and the Estevan Comprehensive School (ECS) co-sponsored two ECS students and one counsellor to attend the 62nd annual Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA) in Winnipeg.

Students Dylan Galang and Bryce Huber prepared themselves by going over the various resolutions, trying to understand their designated country’s perspective on the resolutions, and preparing speeches and notes to use in selected committees and the assembly. They served as delegates from Iran.

Wes Kreklewich was the counsellor who accompanied the students.

The resolutions included: denuclearize the Middle East; prevent an arms race in outer space; combat the glorification of contemporary forms of racism, discrimination and other related intolerances; and protect the global climate.

The ECS students were impressed with the organization, preparation and accommodation of the Winnipeg Rotary Club at MUNA. The students were housed and fed at the Canadian Mennonite University campus. 

Students discussed world affairs with 160 of their peers from Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Minnesota and North Dakota.

Kreklewich said it was an excellent conference that created new experiences, memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.
