4-H is behind the success of most of rural Canada. Teens have the ability to develop many leadership and career skills at a young age. The networks made as kids last for a lifetime. I met most of my best friends through the Program.
November is 4-H month in Canada, where the 4-H community comes together to celebrate their accomplishments and the positive impact they have in Canada and around the world. The 4-H program is developing responsible, compassionate and engaged young leaders who are making incredible contributions in their communities. As a proud 4-H alumnus, I have seen and felt the many impacts of 4-H on my own story and on my community!

I appreciate this woman and the BBC for bringing awareness to this terrible disease. While I'm not nearly as severely ill as she is, I know all too well how debilitating and unpredictable ME is. Every day I wake up not knowing what I'll be able to do that day.

Another reason to love the Jays. They know they play for a whole country.

This is very scary. It would be so hard to function, and so sad for a farmer whose life revolves around his cows.

Happy Canada Day.
I am so proud to call myself a Canadian, maybe even more so now when our country and identity has been misunderstood and threatened.
Being Canadians brings forth words such as unity, multiculturalism, tolerance, freedom, pride, passion & humour and nature.

We need more schools to do this. These kids are learning real-life skills and will be highly employable.

This is crazy. Hundreds of people, mainly kids have been sickened by consuming raw milk from one farm, yet the farmer is still selling across the US. To top it off, he admits to knowingly using contaminated milk to make cheese. And he's not been fully prosecuted.
"I've put a couple kids in the hospital, and they have been sick, but they recovered," said Mark McAfee, founder of @Raw_Farm, as reported by @AnnieWaldman. "But here's the thing: I'm a pioneer. And I'm going against the grain here. I'm climbing a mountain they say you can't climb." #RawMilk #FoodSafety @propublica geneticliteracyproject.org/2…
