Covid 19 - Updates from 4-H PEI

The 4-H PEI Board of Directors met on Wednesday May 6th to discuss the 4-H program.   At this time, they have extended the suspension of all in-person meetings and activities until June 30th.

They have also decided to suspend traditional Achievement Days at the club level this year.  Staff will look at ways for members to complete their projects this year in a new format and details will be released in early June for those members who wish to complete.   The Board understands that Covid-19 has presented various challenges for our 4-H families and so have decided that members are not required to complete their project and that no member will be penalized for not completing a project in the 2019-2020 4-H year.

Virtual Projects are available for those members who may want to take a new project or complete the project they had previously registered for.   Visit www.pei4h.ca/4-hathome, the registration deadline has been extended to May 22nd for most projects.  Leaders who have chosen to continue leading a project at a local club level must continue to meet virtually or by telephone until June 30th.  There is no insurance coverage for in person activities at this time.

The board will await an announcement from the PEI Association of Fairs and Exhibitions before making a decision on summer programming.  At this point, members who may be interested in attending these events (if they go ahead) with a livestock project or who would like to be considered for The Royal Dairy & Beef Teams must submit their Animal ID and Royal registration (dairy only) by the June 1st deadline.  Forms will be posted to the PEI 4-H Website main page when they are available.   This may change as we hear more about the plans from PEI Fairs and Exhibitions and The Royal. We will update membership accordingly as we know more.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we navigate this unprecedented situation.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Administrative Director Rayanne Frizzell at rfrizzell@pei4h.ca or 902-393-4248.

Sincerely,
