More about 4-H and Clarence:
4-H has been a cornerstone of Nova Scotia communities since 1922 when the first 4-H club was established in Heatherton, Antigonish County. The Clarence 4-H Club, founded in 1925, is part of this rich tradition. The historical roots of the Canadian 4-H program are deeply embedded in rural Canada, aiming to enhance agriculture, boost production, and enrich rural life. This movement was inspired by passionate agricultural officials, dedicated school teachers, and others committed to equipping young rural Canadians with essential skills for success both on and off the farm.
The "4-H" program originated in the USA as early as 1901, with agricultural club work beginning in Canada shortly thereafter. Initially organized by the Provincial Ministries of Agriculture and known as "Boys and Girls Clubs," Canada adopted the 4-H name in 1952. Despite sharing a name, the Canadian 4-H program has never been affiliated with the American one.
