Seven members took part in the club this season, including Nova Baschuk, Nora Baschuk, Daxton Baschuk, Silas Chouinard, Sampson Chouinard, Kezia Falk and Ben McIntosh. Club leaders Lisa Pinkerton and Derek Baschuk guided members through a variety of hands-on projects and activities during the year.
Projects completed this year ranged from foods and animation to babysitting and crafts, allowing members to explore a wide range of interests while developing practical skills and confidence.
During the achievement evening, guests had the opportunity to browse project displays, ask questions and hear members speak about the work they completed throughout the year. Members proudly showcased project boards highlighting their accomplishments and learning experiences.
Ben McIntosh, who participated in the Exploring Foods project, said his favourite part of the year was making and eating a stuffed crust cheese pizza, while admitting cleanup was his least favourite part.
The Roland 4-H Club continues a long-standing tradition in the community. Roland is recognized as the birthplace of 4-H in Canada, with the first organizational meeting for what was then known as a “Boys and Girls Club” taking place there in 1913.
Club members are also continuing their community involvement by participating in the Roland town cleanup on May 8.
