Three recipients from Ontario were chosen in 2022 to receive the 4-H Ontario Arbor Award. Cathy has spent 30 years volunteering.
Even though her own children, some of who also attended Kemptville programs, are no longer participating in 4-H programs, she continues to lead because of how rewarding it is. She feels life skills are not taught as much these days and 4-H has picked them up.
4-H volunteers must have shown significant leadership, initiative and made a positive impact on 4-H at various levels.
“You don’t know your self-worth until you hear it from someone else’s mouth. I am very blessed.”
