Show Your 4-H Colours

Show the world what it means to be a 4-H’er!

Did you know that November is National 4-H Month? That’s why 4-H’ers across Canada love to show their pride all month long, and why Show Your 4-H Colours is the annual celebration of 4-H! This year also marks the 110th anniversary of 4-H in Canada, even more reason to celebrate!

There are many ways to celebrate 4-H during November and make a big splash—of green, that is! The highlight of our annual celebration is Show Your 4-H Colours Day on November 1 where members, leaders, alumni, and supporters alike wear their favourite green and come together to spread awareness and enthusiasm for 4-H.

Here are some more ways to celebrate in November:

• Wear green on November 1

• Visit a Canadian landmark illuminated in green on the eve of November 1

• Host a club celebration event

• Make an impact and volunteer in your community

• Post to social media using the hashtag #ShowYour4HColours and tag us
