UNA-Canada is a national charitable organization established in 1946. Our mandate is to engage the Canadian public in the work of the United Nations and the critical international issues which affect us all.

UNAC strives for a better world. We focus on the UN issues of peace and security, sustainable development, human rights, and global cooperation. We work directly with youth and educators, building the capacity of young Canadians able to effect positive global change. We foster Canadian support for the UN and the values that drive it - freedom, equity, tolerance, non-violence, respect for nature and shared responsibility. We also help define foreign policy priorities for the Canadian Government.

UNAC-Winnipeg is works towards this goal of educating the public about the values and work of the United Nations Organization through a number of programs including:

• United Nations Day Celebrations
• Human Rights Conferences for High School Students
• United Nations Public Speaking Competitions
• A Speakers Bureau
• Public Forums on UN and other international issues

Though we are not directly affiliated with the United Nations Organization, UNAC-Winnipeg, as part of the World Federation of United Nations Associations, shares the common vision of a prosperous, peaceful future -- embracing the concepts of understanding and global co-operation.

To this end, we work with students, educators, and civil society to provide the information and resources needed to build a stronger United Nations and a better world.
