Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives

After graduation I got a job with the Manitoba Agriculture as a District Home Economist. I lived in the Boissevain area for 25 years, 14 of those as the Home Economist and 11 years raising a family and doing community volunteer work. As a Home Economist I was involved with the 4-H and Youth program working with clubs, parents, leaders and young people ages 9 – 19 in areas of skill, communication and leadership development. I always felt good when I watched a 9 year old, hardly able to tell me their name, start the program and then grow to a young adult who is self assured, confident and capable of doing whatever they wish. I always knew then that I had chosen the right career as a Home Economist.
