Prairieland Youth Leadership Conference awards $12,000 in scholarships

An annual 4-H event held at Prairieland Park in Saskatoon, Sask. on the weekend had 40 members vying for leadership recognition and scholarships.

The members participated in a number of activities, competitions and workshops. Topics included social media storytelling, media and interview training, communications strategies in agriculture, and effective brainstorming skills were covered.

Candidates were each given a journal to complete their assignments in and were divided into groups to work on a presentation about contemporary agriculture issues.

The judges closely watched the applicants and read through the journals before coming to a final decision.
