COVID-19 Update

July 21, 2020

The COVID-19 Public Health Emergency has made the 2020 4-H year unique. Since March, the board of directors has been monitoring the situation and keeping the health of our youth members, leaders, families and communities as our top priority as we move forward.
  • As part of the Government of New Brunswick's Yellow Phase outdoor gatherings in uncontrolled venues with physical distancing of 50 or few people will be allowed. This means that club activities are allowed to resume. However they must have a plan prepared and submit to the New Brunswick 4-H Council Office that adheres to provincial guidelines and to ensure the safety and well being of all.
  • All participants at in person event/activities must sign the mandatory 4-H COVID participation waiver before participating at the event/activity. These waivers must be collected by the Head Leader and submitted to the New Brunswick 4-H Council Office BEFORE the event takes place. 
  • All Camps, Provincial Show, Provincial and National Conferences have been suspended for the 2019-2020 4-H year. 

With the 4-H New Brunswick programming being suspended we know leaders, parents and members have a lot of question. Here is a list of some that have come to our attention:

Can we still work on our projects?
Yes, please continue to work on your projects by yourself with parental supervision. If you have animals projects please continue to care for your animal as normal.

Can I still complete my volunteer screening?
Yes, with so many families at home this may be great time to complete the Commit to Kids Online Training. Many police stations are still open to the public or have reduced hours. Pleas contact your local police station for more information on how you can obtain a Criminal Record/Vulnerable Sector Check. 

What about Provincial and National events?
All camps, conferences and large events have been suspended for the 2019-2020 4-H year.

Can we still complete our 4-H year?
Yes. Please use technology to your benefit to host digital meetings. All clubs are able complete their projects as they see fit. Your Achievement Day or project demonstration may look a little bit different this year. 

2020/21 Membership Year  
We are presently preparing for fall programming and club registration to be able to run as normal in September. The provincial 4-H office is monitoring the situation and encourages all 4-H’ers to look to official sources to do the same. As the situation continues to evolve, it is possible further postponement or restrictions could be required.
