Youth Leadership
Conference
February 21 & 22
The conference format for the Youth
Leadership Program continues in a
most positive manner.
This year the format changed to
include only Senior 4-H members
(14-21 years). The criteria includes
individual interviews with the focus on
leadership, communication, conflict
resolution.
Ag Centre
The winter boarding program began
in November and is once again most
popular. Lessons are conducted on a
regular basis as well as open riding in
general. There are various clubs and
groups that book clinics and group
rides to keep current throughout the
winter.

PRAIRIELAND’S COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM
Prairieland’s Community Partnership Program features Prairieland Park
working with one community organization throughout the year to create
awareness of their services as well as provide opportunities for fundraising for the organization.
STARS has been selected as Prairieland’s Community Partner for 2015. STARS is dedicated to
providing a safe, rapid, highly specialized emergency medical transport system for the critically
ill and injured. Their vision is “Saving lives through partnership, innovation and leadership”.
STARS currently operates from 3 bases in Alberta, 2 bases in Saskatchewan, and 1 base in
Manitoba.
This will be the second year of this
two-day youth event established in
support of Prairieland’s mandate to
promote Youth & Agriculture. A worldrenowned cattle fitter presents a oneday clinic where youth learn how to fit
and groom their cattle in preparation
to compete in a show setting. Day
two they compete in Market Steer
and Heifer classes as well as Team
Grooming. The clinician provides
feedback during the show to improve
their skills. This event is proving to
be a most positive addition to our
Agriculture programming. Included
in the two day event are seminar
presentations by feed, nutrition and
health-care specialists where parents
and 4H leaders are invited to attend.
STARS is a charitable, not-for-profit organization that relies on government, corporate and
community support.

SPORTS ON TAP
Every year gets busier and more exciting here at Sports On Tap. We are anticipating
2015 will be no exception. The NHL hockey season is well underway and the action
is hot. As well, this year’s NFL season has been a great one. We are already gathering
great prizes in preparation for the big Super Bowl party on February 1, 2015 – kick
off is at 5:30 pm so be sure to get here early to get a seat! We are already getting
inquiries about our very popular Beach Volleyball league which brings in clientele from
all across the city and surrounding towns. Registration for that will already be starting
in late January – so register soon as it fills up fast! The Beach Volleyball season runs
from May – August. Before you know it, winter will be over and spring will be here and,
along with that, the start of Major League Baseball action on April 5, 2015. To top it
all off, we also have some exciting new renovations and improvements being done in
the early months of 2015 so keep your eyes and ears open. Open 7 days a week, come
down to Sports On Tap for food and drinks – open every day for lunch until the later
