SaskCanola sponsors Saskatchewan 4-H public speaking competition

Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission is continuing its support for Saskatchewan youth by sponsoring the annual public speaking competition for Saskatchewan 4-H.

Saskatchewan 4-H, serving approximately 3,800 members and 1,100 volunteer leaders, is a project-based youth organization, devoted to strengthening the skills of responsible citizens. The program focuses on the growth and development of our members, leaders, volunteers and staff through the motto: Learn to do by doing.

One way of accomplishing this is to challenge members to build strong public speaking skills. On April 28th, the 2007 Saskatchewan 4-H Provincial Public Speaking Competition was held in Assiniboia, Saskatchewan. This prestigious event is hosted this year, by the District 3 4-H Council.
