Students Commission of Canada has launched a workshop series to discuss the environment and how climate changes affects Canada. Youth between the ages of 12 and 30 are encouraged to participate in Manitoba’s workshop, which will be held on Thursday, April 22, Earth Day, at 6 p.m. CDT. For more details and the Zoom link, contact Lachlan@studentscommission.ca.
4-H Canada recognizes that throughout the response to COVID-19, staff and leaders are finding new ways to virtually engage with our youth members and with one another. Continuing activities that promote connections with peers and 4-H leaders can reduce the vulnerability of isolated youth and is a positive mental health activity for all participants.

Following the cancellation of all in-person events scheduled before June 13, 2020, Manitoba 4-H Council has received several queries about the impact on Club Achievements. Please click here for Beef and here for Multi-Purpose.
M4HC encourages Members to continue to participate in the International Art Exchange, using whatever paper/art equipment you have available to capture a “Coronavirus moment in time”. Pictures can be mailed to the Brandon office, 1129 Queens Ave. Brandon MB R7A 1L9, or submitted by cellphone photograph emailed to lmcrae-walker@4h.mb.ca.
