20164-H CanadaLeadership Summit

WELCOME

4-H is committed to offering programs and activities that promote the health and well-being of youth, their communities and their planet.

The Environment and Healthy Living

It’s important to know how to protect your own health, and how to support others in taking care of themselves. Being aware of the environmental impact of our everyday behavior, routines and habits is a responsibility youth take very seriously. Through experiential and outdoor educational programming, 4-H offers opportunities for youth to:

• Be stewards of the environment and develop sustainable solutions• Take care of themselves and others• Learn positive ways to stay healthy and active• Make informed choices about their health and the health of the planet• Dig in and get their hands dirty!

Youth will inherit the environmental problems of today, and have already developed many of the solutions for tomorrow.

Young people are increasingly aware of environmental challenges and opportunities, including climate change. They are joining the global dialogue on solutions, getting involved and taking action. Source: United Nations Joint Framework Initiative on Children, Youth and Climate Change

We are less than a month away from the 4-H Canada Leadership Summit in Ottawa! Please review the following information to help prepare for the gathering and maximize our time together.

We are so excited to host 4-H volunteer leaders and staff from across Canada at the 2016 4-H Canada Leadership Summit. At this year’s summit, we are exploring programming through our Environment & Healthy Living Pillar.

Key Information

Going Green

This is a “green” event. We will be as paperless as possible during the Summit.

We will also be participating in the Green Stay Sustainability program at the Delta hotel which means

that a tree will be planted in your name by forgoing some of the housekeeping services.

Note: if you are staying four nights, you will receive housekeeping services after the 3rd day as per their

service standard. Dial 0 if you would like to get fresh towels or toiletries at any time.

Flights and Airport Arrivals

Please remember to check-in 24 hours in advance on the Air Canada or WestJet site using your 6 digit alphanumeric code on your flight itinerary next to the

flight details.

4-H Canada staff will be coordinating shuttle buses from the airport to the hotel. When you arrive at the airport, look out for 4-H staff to direct you to the shuttle. We’ll be

well-branded and marked in GREEN!

Baggage fees of $25 are the responsibility of the individual participant and will be charged at check-in time.
