Why the 4-H Pledge is being updated?
 
4-H Canada is making this change as a response to youth wishing to reflect the global nature of 4-H. In 2017, Canada hosted the Globai4-H Network Summit and participating 4-H members heard an opportunity to update our Pledge. To align with the Pledge of other 4-H nations globally, they requested this change. So, we did it! At the 2018 4-H Canada AGM, a motion was put forward and accepted.
 
Messaging and branding is a very important part of keeping the 4-H brand constant across Canada! We strongly encourage all clubs or members looking to have anything designed or printed to please contact your Specialist or the Provincial Office to confirm that all information is up to date before you approve any designs! We thank you all for your dedication and passion to the 4-H PEI Program!

The 2019 Exhibition Books, support documents and dates are now available at pei4h.ca. Be sure to review these updated documents as there are some changes compared to previous years.
