This year, nine members of the Eagle Hills Multiple 4-H Club and one member from the Edam Light Horse 4-H Club will be travelling to Wellington County, Ont., in the Club to Club Exchange that is offered through 4-H Canada. The group is called the Eagle Hills 4-H Travel Club.
The 4-H Canada Club to Club Exchange program is open to groups of 10 4-H member delegates between the ages of 12 and 17, supported by two chaperones. Selected groups from Eastern Canada will be 鈥渢winned鈥 with groups in Western Canada. The western delegates will travel to Eastern Canada for 10 days and then those eastern delegates will travel back to Western Canada for 10 days. Exchange participants will stay with their 鈥渢win鈥 family and enjoy a unique experience spanning cultures, languages and history.
Our group travels to Wellington County from July 7 to 16. We host the delegates from July 25 to Aug. 3. We are hoping to tour the delegates around all of the Battlefords, showing them all the highlights and some of the hidden gems. Our members are working hard to come up with ideas and the agenda. They also have to come up with a community service project while the delegates are here in the Battlefords.
We are hoping the community supports our group as we show what the Battlefords have to offer.
