2022 is the 50th anniversary of Citizenship Congress!
Citizenship Congress will deepen your understanding of civic engagement, governance and public policy, parliamentary procedures, citizenship, and politics. This conference creates opportunities for you to network and learn from experts on governance and civic engagement while building your research skills, communication skills, and your knowledge on parliamentary procedure.
Workshops and preparation sessions will culminate with the annual debate where you and your fellow 4-H’ers from across Canada will construct insightful arguments, and practice your skills of persuasion and public speaking. You’ll leave Citizenship Congress having learned more about Canada, its government, and yourself.
We are excited for Citizenship Congress to return to Ottawa from May 3-8, 2022!

4-H Ontario is generously supported with funding from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food & Rural Affairs.
In fall 2021, 4-H Ontario offered young people the chance to take part in discussions relating to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). https://sdgs.un.org/goals
We heard from an industry leader about tips and tools you can use to help reach the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), then put that information into practice with a hands-on learning activity.
