Alberta, Canada governments funding 4-H program expansions

Nov 12, 2024 | 3:25 PM

The Alberta and Canadian Governments are providing funding to expand 4-H programs across the province.

Through Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP) funding, the governments of Canada and Alberta are investing more than $731,000 over five years for three programs.

The Intro to 4-H program, the Agriculture Safety and Mental Health Workshop and the Senior Spring Symposium will benefit from the funding.

Kurt Kinnear, CEO of 4-H Alberta says, “For more than 100 years, 4-H Alberta has been dedicated to empowering youth with skills and experiences that last a lifetime, deeply rooted in agriculture and community. This new grant allows us to expand on that legacy – bridging urban and rural perspectives, sharing time-tested skills and inspiring the next generation of leaders in Alberta’s agriculture sector.”
