Never afraid to take up the challenge, Bert Stewart is a tireless champion of causes that promote a healthy and rewarding life for his family, his colleagues, his community and his country. Honourable Lyle Vanclief Nominated by Syngenta Lyle Vanclief is a unique individual and an outstanding example of what it means to be a committed Canadian. When we think of his consecutive career achievements and what Lyle brought to Canadian agriculture, the words “big gun” come to mind. Born in Ameliasburg in Prince Edward County, Ontario, Lyle grew up with the best of Canadian values. From the tender age of 12 he has honoured the principles of 4-H – the great Canadian youth organization. In time, Lyle Vanclief was to become a perfect example of an exceptional youth, achieving his full potential as Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. He was elected as Member of Parliament for Prince Edwards-Hastings in 1988 and re-elected in 1993, 1997 and 2000. An important leap in Lyle’s life journey happened when he attended the University of Guelph. It was there his natural leadership abilities shone as president of both his OAC class and the University Student Union Council. After graduating in 1966 he returned home to farm with his father. Through intelligence and hard work, Lyle took the 148 acres to 1600 acres of owned and rented crop land and livestock production. As Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food (1993-1996), Lyle played a key role in defining the Government of Canada’s reponse to changes in international trade rules. He also served as Chairman of the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food. Lyle’s tenure as Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (1997-2003) covered a very difficult period in the country’s agriculture and food sector. This included a lengthy period of low prices, a major crisis with BSE, PBYn in potatoes, a severe ice storm and water safety issues to name a few. As a true leader, Lyle worked tirelessly with a wide set of sources to bring solutions to these challenges. At the same time he looked for longer-term solutions to build Canada as a leader in agriculture – prepared to meet future challenges. In this regard, he undertook the most comprehensive integration of federal and provincial policy and programs ever envisaged with the “Implementation Agreements for the Agriculture Policy Framework” covering business risk management, environment, food safety, renewal, trade, research and innovation. The industry became more focused on the future and less reliant on government subsidies, thereby developing a greater capacity to adapt to change. It is impossible to condense the numerous accomplishments of the Honourable Lyle Vanclief, not only in the field of agriculture but also in the wider community. But it is clear that this dedicated gentleman exemplified the highest of standards in all he endeavoured to accomplish. His remarkable career tells the story of an individual who believed he had something to give. And give he did! learn to do by doing apprendre en travaillant the gift of leadership un don de leadership Congratulates these two outstanding 4-H Alumni who have tirelessly pledged their Head, Heart, Hands and Health toward Inspiring Youth and Shaping Our Communities. Thanks for your continued leadership to the future of 4-H as Trustees of the Ontario 4-H Foundation.
