Get Ready to Show Your 4-H Colours this November

 
Ottawa, ON – 4-H Canada invites you to Show Your 4-H Colours this November with an exciting celebration inviting 4-H supporters to wear green, celebrate, and give back to one of Canada’s most longstanding and impactful youth organizations. 
 
From purchasing a limited-edition fundraising t-shirt to wear on November 4 for Show Your 4-H Colours Day to visiting a Canadian landmark lit in green, there are many ways to get involved. Visit showyour4hcolours.ca for full details. 
 
Together with our national Show Your 4-H Colours partner, BASF Agricultural Solutions Canada, we encourage you to join the fun and come together to spread awareness and support the great things 4-H’ers are doing in their communities, country, and around the world. 
 
As 4-H Canada’s Community Engagement & Communications Pillar partner, BASF has stepped up to demonstrate their commitment to mobilizing Canadians to wear green, celebrate, and give back to 4-H.
 
“We are proud to partner with a company that has such strong 4-H roots and is so committed and engaged in the 4-H movement,” said Shannon Benner, 4-H Canada Chief Executive Officer. “Not only is BASF generously supporting 4-H in Canada at the national and provincial level, they are actively participating in 4-H initiatives to heighten awareness of the lasting impact 4-H has in inspiring youth and supporters alike to make the world a better place.” 
 
With many BASF staff involved in the 4-H movement as alumni, leaders, or supporters, they will be joining up with the 4-H Canada Youth Advisory Committee to speak out on social media through a Show Your 4-H Colours video series. In early November, check out the videos to hear engaging storytellers share why they are “Proud to Show My 4-H Colours.” 
 
In addition, through the purchase of over 900 Show Your 4-H Colours limited-edition t-shirts, BASF has provided more than $3,700 to provincial 4-H organizations across the country. BASF staff will proudly wear the tees on Show Your 4-H Colours Day.
 
“We couldn’t be prouder to support 4-H Canada and celebrate the community-building spirit 4-H fosters among youth and adults—a sentiment that is shared across the agriculture industry,” said Jonathan Sweat, Vice President, BASF Agricultural Solutions Canada. “On November 4, we’ll wear our 4-H Colours t-shirts with pride as we join supporters from across the country in honouring the contributions 4-H’ers make every day of the year.”

Sask Wheat and ATC also ask for federal politicians, Transport Canada and other regulatory bodies to ensure rail service providers meet the demands of the modern global economy.
