4H Canada Leadership Summit

 Leadership Summit is an exciting opportunity for 4-H volunteer leaders and professionals to showcase the communities they are building, share innovative program ideas, and hear from experts on emerging topics. It includes a mix of workshops, an expert keynote, knowledge sharing, networking, and fun!

We’re heading to Halifax, Nova Scotia in April 2022, where Leadership Summit will be co-hosted by 4-H Nova Scotia, as part of 4-H Nova Scotia’s 100th-anniversary celebrations!

4-H is all about the “Learn To Do By Doing” approach. The best way to create a 4-H club where youth feel valued, connected, and supported is to experience these things when you attend Leadership Summit! We hope at the end of Leadership Summit you feel:

  • Valued, as we celebrate volunteer achievements;
  • Connected, as we share successes and challenges, and you expand your network within the 4-H movement;
  • Supported, as we share new resources and bring in experts to engage you in thinking about new approaches and best practices in positive youth development; and
  • Equipped, with new tools, skills, and ideas to take back to your club and share with your youth members.
  • Access to the Leadership Summit program, including all workshops, keynotes, sessions and activities.
  • Round-trip flight or other transportation to and from Leadership Summit
  • Ground transportation (shuttle to/from the hotel)
  • Meals (breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and breaks, beginning with lunch)
  • Single hotel accommodations (unless members of the same household)
  • 4-H Night in the Country event hosted by 4-H Nova Scotia.

Leadership Summit is open to 4-H volunteer leaders from across Canada. Registration is managed through your provincial 4-H office.

Registration for Leadership Summit is $700/person. Some provinces subsidize the registration feed for their leaders. 

Please check with your provincial 4-H office for more information.

OSSTF Educational Services Workshops

 OSSTF/FEESO remains committed to building the capacity of educators by continuing to offer high quality professional growth opportunities created by members, for members. For the foreseeable future, a limited number of OSSTF Professional Development workshops will be available.  These workshops have been adapted and will be available by webinar only.

Districts and Bargaining Units should be aware of the following: 

  • Workshop content and materials are owned and copyrighted by OSSTF/FEESO.
  • The district rebate will be charged $500.00 if less than 20 participants attend the webinar. No charge will be applied for any webinar requests cancelled at least 72 hours prior to the scheduled delivery date. Webinars delivered to groups of 20 or more will continue to be offered free of charge to OSSTF/FEESO members.
  • Districts, Bargaining Units, or individual worksites requesting multiple webinars for the same date will be required to list the webinars in order of priority for delivery as some requests may not be filled due to overwhelming demand or lack of presenter availability. A maximum of four webinars will be confirmed for each requested professional development event. The identified priorities of the Districts and/or Bargaining Units will be used to determine which webinars are confirmed first. Additional webinars may be arranged based upon presenter availability.
