CAPL: Enhancing 4-H Alberta Programs for 10 Years!

For the past ten years, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Landmen (CAPL) has partnered with 4-H Alberta to maintain a meaningful relationship with the mutual goal of enriching the 4-H experience for members across the province. Through their sponsorship of the 4-H Alberta Communications program at the Regional level, CAPL helps 4-H members to develop and strengthen valuable communication skills. CAPL is one of 4-H Alberta’s valued provincial program sponsors who make it possible each year for youth from all around Alberta to attend life development camps and excel as individuals as they enter into adulthood. In addition, CAPL sponsors two separate 4-H scholarships that are given each year.

CAPL was first established in 1948. Today, with a current membership in excess of 1,500 individuals, the Association is well represented in the Canadian oil and gas industry. The Association provides networking opportunities and educational resources, materials, and programs to educate, inform and promote professionalism within its membership. The CAPL activities interface with other resource-based associations, government departments and the public to facilitate common understanding of the issues, problems and solutions in the management of the oil and gas industry.

Each year, CAPL purchases the Reserve Champion steer at the Calgary Stampede Steer Classic show. A side of beef serves as the top prize for two raffles, along with other great prizes, all proceeds form part of the total sponsorship provided by CAPL to 4-H Alberta. We were very excited to announce for the first time that 2014 was a complete sell out of raffle tickets. Thank you to everyone who helped sell and purchase tickets this spring!

On behalf of 4-H Alberta, the 4-H Foundation of Alberta would like to once again extend thanks and gratitude to CAPL for its annual financial contribution! We are excited to announce that this is our 10^th Anniversary with this amazing organization devoted to youth and our program. We look forward to the next 10 years!
