On October 21, during the 2023 Fall Senior Symposium Banquet, 4-H Alberta revealed its future leaders. Thirteen new Ambassadors were welcomed to the team, and the Premier’s Award’s prestigious recipient was announced.
The Premier’s Award stands as the pinnacle of recognition for a 4-H Alberta member. Established by the Honourable E.C. Manning, Premier of Alberta in 1964, this award seeks the best of 4-H. The chosen member not only holds the title but represents 4-H Alberta at various events throughout the year and has the honour to engage with Alberta’s Premier and the Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation.
