This month, we are pleased to highlight one of our valuable major sponsors – Richardson Pioneer.
Richardson Pioneer is a dedicated supporter of 4-H Manitoba and for the third year in a row is a 2025/2026 Pledge Sponsor as well as a great supporter of Agri-Career Quest.
When asked about their continued support, Todd Moffat, Senior Director with Richardson Pioneer said this:
“At Richardson Pioneer, we started working with the Manitoba team in 2022. We look at 4-H and the mutual values it teaches it members. To mention but a few, teamwork, and a collaborative spirit to understand our work. A strong work ethic in a public facing environment. We look at the values and see a lot of alignment with what we look for in our people. Those values are a solid foundation for which oneself can head out into the world with some core characteristics in which to be successful.”
We are so thankful to Todd and Richardson Pioneer for believing in 4-H Manitoba and the continued development of Manitoba youth.
Support Richardson Pioneer where you can….because they support us.
Throughout November, 4-H Canada wants current and former 4-Hers to share photos and stories of their 4-H memorabilia for Show Your 4-H Colours. Please read SY4HC Instructions for more details.
