This year’s RBC 4-H Award of Excellence for the RBC 4-H Rural/ Urban Youth Outreach Program was recently presented to Ontario’s Frontenac 4-H Association for its Country Comes to the City program.
The program, in conjunction with the Boys’ and Girls’ Club of Kingston, Ont., offered 4-H programming to members of the Boys’ and Girls’ Club.
The two clubs also planted a community garden.
More than $80,000 has been awarded to more than 20 projects to help start or expand the 4-H program since the rural/urban youth outreach program began last year.
The Canadian 4-H Council recently awarded funding to 14 projects for 2010-11.
Applications for next year will be received until Dec. 10.
