“This important program is an investment in Ontario’s local food security,” said the Honourable Ernie Hardeman, provincial Minister of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs. “4-H Ontario provides critical youth development to thousands of young people across the province and is one of the ways we can ensure the sustainability of our agri-food sector. With the motto, ‘Learn to Do by Doing,’ there are few educational opportunities that have the long-lasting influence on youth that 4-H does.”
“4-H Ontario is exceptionally proud of our continued relationship with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs,” said Cheryl Sullivan, President of 4-H Ontario. “The generous funding means that we can ensure the next generation of youth in Ontario have access to programs, training and opportunities that promote excellence and leadership in agriculture and far beyond.”
For more than 100 years, 4-H Ontario has provided youth with lifelong leadership skills and hands-on learning on topics such as technology and science, livestock and agriculture knowledge, financial management, food preparation, nutrition, and career development.
