The Springbank Rawhides 4-H Multi Club is off to an exciting start to the 2026-2027 year, with Alexis Way being elected President at the club’s first meeting of the season on October 16 at the Springbank Equestrian Centre.

Joining Alexis on this year’s executive are Vice-President Olyvia Britton, Secretary Nicholas Ross, Treasurer Everett Britton, Reporter Kennedy Collins, and Historian Finn Morton.

The new 4-H year got underway on October 2nd when members, families, and friends had a blast at the Calgary Farmyard hosted by the Rockyview 4-H District. Participants finished the day enjoying an night adventure through the corn maze with flashlights, making for a memorable start to the year.

This year, members can participate in any or up to three projects. The club is launching its inaugural Archery Project, with activities beginning in January at Cochrane Archery Club. Members will also have the opportunity to take part in the new Outdoor Living Project starting in November, while the popular Canine Project will begin later this month.

Eight members attended the October meeting and are already busy planning the club’s Halloween Spooktacular at the end of the month.

The evening ended with project group meetings, giving members the opportunity to connect with their respective project leaders to learn about their up coming activities and plans for the year.

The Springbank Rawhides 4-H Multi Club is still welcoming new members. Anyone interested in joining or have any questions, please can contact Norma Ansloos at 403-850-3953 before November 1st. 4-H provides youth with opportunities to develop leadership, learn new skills, make friends, and live the 4-H motto: “Learn To Do By Doing.”
