Rotarian Natasha Lovenuk-Markham introduced this year’s four MUNA students: Isabelle Keefe, David Marshall, and Regan Neall, all in attendance, plus Alyssa Deschene who was not able to attend. 
 
The Model United Nations Assembly is a learning simulation of the United Nations General Assembly in its structure and proceedings. Debates in MUNA, the committee structure, rules of procedure, and the general decorum of delegates, are designed to approximate the UN General Assembly.
 
The Rotary Club of Winnipeg held the first MUNA on April 26 and 27, 1957. The Club has held a MUNA every year since, with only three lapses; in 1966 due to the Red River Flood conditions, in 1986 due to a Measles epidemic, and in 1997 upstaged by the Flood of the Century.
