United Nations Associations Canada - Hamilton Branch

The Hamilton branch is in the midpoint in size in relation to the 14 branches of the national organization.

The Hamilton branch of the United Nations Association in Canada focuses on human rights, peace issues, environmental concerns and global interests to raise the awareness of the United Nations in our community. The 110 members of the United Nations Association in Canada who reside within a thirty mile (approximately 46 km) radius of the Hamilton City Hall also qualify as members of the Hamilton and District Branch (often referred to simply as the "Hamilton Branch"). Our branch was founded 1946, a year after the formation of the United Nations in 1945, which was also the year that UNA-Canada was formed. The Hamilton branch of the United Nations Association in Canada has been successful in partnering with Affiliated Organizations that focus on human rights, peace issues, environmental concerns and global interests to raise the awareness of the United Nations in our community. For more information regarding the mission, vision and current activities of the national association, please visit the United Nations Association in Canada website.

"The question is not whether the UN is good or bad, the question is 'whose hands is it in and how are they using it?'. History shows us both sides." - Leo Lekpele Nupolu Johnson

Thank you, Leo, for being our incredible kick-off speaker! We learned to look at UN systems from a decolonized lens and how SDGs are life, in everything that we do. Your journey and words of wisdom made us feel that our pursuit for a just and sustainable world is possible and practical.
