4-H Ontario COVID-19 Update

4-H Ontario has been closely monitoring COVID-19 developments this week. We felt it important to send an update to our participants, volunteers, and partners. These are challenging times and we will get through them together.  
 
The suspension of all 4-H Activities has been upgraded from recommended to mandatory until April 3, at which time we will re-evaluate based on direction from the Government of Ontario and Public Health Ontario. We will communicate updates as the situation develops. 
 
4-H Ontario is putting together club resources and activities for youth and parents to use while their kids are at home. Look for regular updates on social media.

In this episode of The Swine it Podcast Show Canada, Dr. Joshua Selsby from Iowa State University explains how heat stress affects swine biology and why now is the ideal time to prepare for next summer’s challenges. He breaks down its effects on muscle function, immune responses, and long-term metabolic outcomes. Learn how early planning can protect herd performance when temperatures rise again. Listen now on all major platforms! "Heat stress leads to a cascade of biological damage, beginning with metabolic disruption and expanding across multiple organ systems." Meet the guest: Dr. Joshua Selsby is a Professor in the Department of Animal Science at Iowa State University. With over 15 years of research on skeletal muscle physiology and heat stress, he focuses on understanding how thermal stress disrupts swine metabolism, immune function, and muscle integrity.
