Saskatoon, Sask.- The second annual Club Week was a huge success, with 4-H clubs from across the province participating. Club Week was created in 2017 by 4-H Saskatchewan to give the clubs a week of celebration and community involvement and a way to launch an annual Sustainability Initiative. It was held from November 5-11 across the entire province. The 2018 Sustainability Initiative was to promote community engagement. The provincial 4-H office asked 4-H clubs across the province to join together to collect clothing in support of the Saskatchewan Association of Community Living. The clubs were encouraged to hold a clothing drive, set up a donation area in their community or host an event where clothing donations would be accepted. Although Club Week was the beginning of November, the challenge to give to the food bank was extended to December 1, to give the 4-H clubs time to donate their clothing and report how much they donated to the provincial office. Altogether, 4-H Saskatchewan clubs, staff and board of directors donated 331 bags of clothing across the province. “We had a goal of 200 bags, which is about one bag per club,” said Cera Youngson, Executive Director of 4-H Saskatchewan. “It was exciting to see so many of the clubs and members excited to participate in the challenge and give back.” In addition to the Sustainability Initiative, 4-H clubs were encouraged to show their 4-H spirit, putting up displays in their community and dress up in their 4-H colours for Show Your 4-H Colours Day on November 7. -30- For more information, please contact: Jodi Schellenberg Program and Communications Specialist 306-933-6961 [email protected] District #42 is in the first four photos. They donated more than 150 bags of clothing! The last two photos are of Shelby Longworth, out North East Regional 4-H Specialist, who helped take the donations from the 4-H staff to one of the yellow bins. Thank you to everyone who donated!
![]() By Kody Farrow Do you have a passion for 4-H? Do you want to travel across the country? Do you want to meet incredible people from all walks of life? Do you want to represent your province on the national level? Then consider applying for the 4-H Canada Youth Advisory Committee! The Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) is made up of one member from each province across the country, and assists 4-H Canada in areas such as programs, policies, conferences, communications, and marketing. You will be placed in one of four working groups, and work with your other YAC members and 4-H Canada staff to deliver programs for our members. Through my experience with YAC, I’ve gotten to be a part of several 4-H Canada programs and policies, travelled to Ottawa and Toronto for conferences, met 4-Hers from across the country, and even met the Prime Minister! YACs are chosen for a two-year term, with a possibility of a third year extension. If you’re over 18 years old and a current or former Saskatchewan 4-H member, you’re eligible! If you have any questions or hesitations about applying for YAC, please do not hesitate to email me at [email protected]. Being the 4-H Saskatchewan YAC member has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, and I encourage everyone to apply! Applications for the YAC position can be found under Board and Council Business. Deadline to apply is December 1. You must be 18-25 years old and have at least two years of experience as a 4-H member. Prince Albert, Sask.- It was an exciting end to a long day when the charity steer at the Prince Albert Finished Beef Show and Sale raised $63,000.
The 4-H clubs who participate in the Prince Albert Finished Beef Show and Sale – including West P.A. 4-H Beef Club, Canwood 4-H Beef Club, Weldon 4-H Beef Club, Torch River 4-H Club and Wild Rose 4-H Beef Club – have been hosting the charity steer event with the Prince Albert Exhibition for about 15 years, said West P.A. 4-H Beef Club member Sara Grassick. “All the members contribute – they split up the feed costs and the value of the steer,” Grassick said. “The 80 kids that are showing up at this show pay for this steer to be raised, so it is really a community thing.” Each year, a different 4-H club raises the charity steer. This year, it was the West P.A. 4-H Beef Club’s turn, she explained. Their club decided to donate the funds to the Rose Garden Hospice, which is a palliative care home being built in Prince Albert for terminally ill patients. “This is something that sparked our interest and when you start looking into hospices, you wonder why don’t we have one,” Grassick said. “It is going to be a hospice not only for Prince Albert but northern Saskatchewan.” The five 4-H clubs started the Dutch Auction by giving those who donated $25 an entry into the draw to win the steer. After a family won the steer, it was resold three more times in a traditional auction, raising a total of $32,584. “We are also really excited because Malcolm Jenkins (the owner of the local Canadian Tire), he has decided to match all of the donations we have raised,” Grassick said. “We are pretty pumped.” With the matching funds from Jenkins, the total donation to the Rose Garden Hospice was $63,000. “It is going towards a great cause and something that means a lot to all of us because everyone has been effected by these awful diseases,” Grassick said. “To have somewhere, potentially and unfortunately your relatives can use, it means a lot to these kids.” Sep 14, 2018
