A Look at Our Past Summits
YNPS 2022
The 2022 Summit saw a convergence of 70 students from nine high schools and 20 observers at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. The event, a follow-up to the 2019 International Youth Nuclear Peace Summit, aimed to engage the youth in understanding the political and existential threat of nuclear war - especially in the context of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine, inspiring hope for change, and creating action plans.
Students were tasked with researching organizations responsible for world security, their strengths and weaknesses, and studying civil society organizations engaged in nuclear disarmament. Highlight moments of the day included a compelling keynote speech from Senator Marilou McPhedran, who called upon Canada to support the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), and a presentation by Avinashpall Singh, a summit alumnus and IPPNWC Board member, who shared his story of successfully co-leading the campaign for the City of Winnipeg to sign the ICAN Cities Appeal.

YNPS 2019
The inaugural summit was a groundbreaking event that brought together over 110 students from 20 schools across Canada and the United States. This three-day intensive program provided a platform for young minds to delve deep into discussions surrounding the human, environmental, economic, political, and legal costs of nuclear weapons proliferation.
One of the the highlights of the Summit was the drafting and ratification of a Youth Nuclear Peace Treaty by the students, aimed for presentation at the Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference in 2020.
