Canadian Model UN has an established history, the modern origins of which can be traced to 1972, the founding date of the Southern Ontario Model United Nations Assembly (SOMA), which is the world's oldest high-school-run Model United Nations conference.<ref>{{Cite web |title=SOMA - the Southern Ontario Model United Nations Assembly |url=https://www.soma.on.ca/ |access-date=2025-02-12 |website=SOMA |language=en-CA}}</ref> However, SOMA has long been surpassed in prominence as the popularity of Model UN has expanded in Canada, particularly by university-run conferences such as [[McGill University|McGill University's]] Secondary Schools United Nations Symposium (SSUNS) founded in 1992,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Secondary Schools United Nations Symposium |url=https://www.ssuns.org/ |access-date=2025-02-12 |website=Secondary Schools United Nations Symposium |language=en-CA}}</ref> and the [[University of Toronto|University of Toronto's]] University of Toronto Model United Nations (UTMUN) founded in 2008, annual participation in both of which comfortably surpasses 1000 delegates respectively.
