PARTICIPANT AWARDS
SYNGENTA 4-H ONTARIO
ARBOR AWARD
Sponsored by: Syngenta Canada Inc.
Submission Deadline: November 30, 2013
Volunteers are the heart of 4-H. 4-H Ontario values the
hard work, dedication and talent that volunteers bring to
the program. Their service is instrumental in 4-H Ontario’s
continued success. Because of this, the recognition of our
volunteers will always be an important element of the
4-H program. The Syngenta 4-H Ontario Arbor Awards
are 4-H Ontario’s most distinguished Volunteer awards
given out each year at 4-H Ontario’s Conference &
Annual Meeting in March. Volunteers are nominated by
their local Associations and recipients are chosen by a
selection committee.
This award is open to all 4-H volunteers who have positively
impacted 4-H in Ontario and have served the
organization for over 10 years (this includes both club
leaders and non-traditional volunteers). Nominees must
have shown significant leadership, initiative and made a
positive impact on 4-H at various levels (club, local, regional,
provincial and/or national). Nominees’ involvement
in other community activities and organizations is also
strongly considered.
