Federal government celebrates 100 years of 4-H Canada
One of the country’s longest-running and most respected youth organizations, 4-H Canada, is celebrating its 100th anniversary this week.
Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz brought congratulatory greetings on behalf the Harper Government at the 4-H “Food for Thought” Gala celebration in Winnipeg.
The federal government has been a supporter of 4-H Canada for over 78 years. Under Growing Forward 2, a federal, provincial, and territorial agreement, governments are making a $3–billion investment in strategic initiatives in innovation, competitiveness, and market development in the Canadian agriculture and agri-food sector. This includes a continued investment in supporting new and beginning farmers, as well as our 4-H partners.
