Winners advance to the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto in November 2026.

October 13–20 is SeCan’s Grow a Leader Week!
This annual initiative is all about helping grow the next generation of leaders in agriculture. During Grow a Leader Week, when producers purchase SeCan soybean seed through participating local suppliers, a portion of the proceeds directly supports 4-H Manitoba Clubs, Area Councils, and provincial programs.
These funds help provide 4-H members across the province with opportunities to build confidence, strengthen leadership skills, and explore future careers in agriculture — ensuring Manitoba’s youth are ready to lead our industry forward.
A big thank-you to SeCan for their continued partnership and investment in 4-H youth development. Together, we’re growing strong roots for the future of Canadian agriculture. 💚

We’re excited to kick off another year of learning, leadership, and community with 4-H Manitoba! This year promises plenty of opportunities to build new skills, make connections, and — of course — have fun.
You’ll notice a fresh new look for our newsletter, now called Clover Connections. Each month, we’ll bring you updates on upcoming events, helpful resources, and highlights from across our 4-H family. We’d also love to showcase your stories — if you have photos, achievements, or special moments to share, please send them to Leslie at lbryde@4h.mb.ca.
Our Provincial Events calendar has shifted slightly, so be sure to keep an eye on the Clover Connections and visit www.4h.mb.ca for registration details and deadlines.
We are grateful to our members and leaders for making 4-H part of your year. Membership fees are now $90/member, but with that comes access to incredible learning experiences. We encourage you to dive into one — or more — projects and discover all that 4-H has to offer.
Here’s to another amazing year together in 4-H! 🌱
