Gain Points for Your House!

House System

All HarvardMUN Canada 2026 participants are sorted into a House, emblematic of those at Harvard University. House members will compete in non-academic events to gain “points” for their respective House, culminating in a Best House award announced at the closing ceremonies and commemorated forever on the HarvardMUN Canada website.

There are twelve Houses at HarvardMUN Canada, and all participants, including Faculty Advisors, are welcome to participate in the House system! The live points tracker will be frozen on the evening of May 30 to be revealed during closings.

House Tasks

Please find the complete list of House tasks and their associated points to the right. There are two categories of points that can be won for your House: Stackable and Prize.

Stackable points may be won throughout the conference by multiple individuals, though the same individual may only complete the task once.

Prize points are won only once, and only by one individual who meets the prize criteria set out.

Stackable Points
