4-H Canada Announces Centennial Year -2013 to Mark 100 Years of 4-H in Canada

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - July 13, 2011) - The year 2013 will officially mark 100 years of 4-H in Canada. To celebrate this upcoming milestone 4-H Canada unveiled a new anniversary logo and announced Enbridge Pipelines Inc. (Enbridge) as the new national sponsor for its anniversary celebrations.

"We are very excited to be here at the Calgary Stampede to officially announce 2013 as the centennial year of 4-H in Canada," said Mike Nowosad, chief executive officer of 4-H Canada. "The 4-H program in Canada is as vibrant as ever, and we are looking forward to coming back in two years as part of our anniversary celebrations."

4-H began in Roland, Manitoba in 1913 and is one of Canada's longest running and most respected youth organizations. Since it began, 4-H has been teaching Canadian youth to "Learn to Do by Doing" by providing a safe and hands-on learning environment.

To launch the 100^th anniversary celebrations, 4-H Canada unveiled a new centennial logo created from an online contest. 4-H members, leaders, and alumni submitted conceptual ideas and a selection committee to help create the 100th Anniversary logo design.

"As 4-H approaches 2013, the excitement levels continue to grow," said Rob Black, president of the Canadian 4-H Council. "It is not very often you get to celebrate your 100th Anniversary, and we have every intention to make this the biggest and best celebration we can dream of."

"Enbridge is proud to partner with 4-H Canada and has committed $260,000 to support their centennial celebrations," said D'Arcy Levesque, Vice President, Public and Government Affairs for Enbridge. "Enbridge shares 4-H's commitment to youth and we see how important the next generation is in helping to build, sustain and grow vibrant communities. We believe that by giving youth the opportunity to participate in character-building programs, and by focusing on their skills, talents and sense of community 4-H helps them achieve their full potential."

"We couldn't be happier to have Enbridge onboard and taking part in this historic celebration," Nowosad continued. "Enbridge is extremely active in communities across Canada, including those communities with a prominent 4-H presence. It is a very good fit as we celebrate in communities across Canada."

At the Calgary Stampede, representatives from 4-H Canada were also on hand at the "4-H Heroes" booth, which is set up at the Victoria Pavilion. The booth is a way for alumni to tell their 4-H story, and register as an alumnus.
