Canada entered the Second World War in 1939 and Neepawa’s airport became one of the British Commonwealth Air Training schools to train pilots.

This summer, 12 4-Hers from Neepawa, Manitoba and 12 4-Hers and their chaperones from Amherst, Nova Scotia get to find out what the other 4-H programs are both like. On June 29, the Nova Scotia group arrived in Winnipeg, and met up with the Manitoba group. From there, their western experience began.
