100 years ago, Canada and the United States
signed the Boundary Waters Treaty creating the International Joint Commission changing the way these two countries would settle disputes along
the water borders thereafter.

The United Nations Association in Canada invites you, on the 100th anniversary of the Treaty, to join university-level students from Canada and the United States to simulate and respond to the numerous challenges that face one of the world’s most prestigious multilateral governing body, the International Joint Commission (IJC).

Held at Niagara University, this inaugural Model International Joint Commission conference will seek to simulate real IJC boards that influence how issues and disputes are dealt with on ground level. innovative and forward-thinking, the Model International Joint Commission conference is looking for students who are not afraid of challenges and speak their minds. On June 11th – 13th at Niagara University in beautiful Niagara Region, New York State, we will see that no problem is too big for the Model-IJC.
