Camp Rayner - Architectural Model
Main building of Camp Rayner on Lake Diefenbaker, Saskatchewan.
Bio/Historical Note: John George Rayner was born 1 Oct. 1890 in London, England. At age 2 his family came to Canada, settling on a farm near Virden, Manitoba. After completing his high school education there, he attended the Manitoba College of Agriculture in Winnipeg and graduated with a BSA in 1913. In 1914 Rayner was employed as agricultural representative with the Saskatchewan Department of Agriculture, his district taking in a large portion of the northwest part of the settled area of the province. With an appointment in 1918 as director of boys' and girls' club work at the Extension Department at the U of S in Saskatoon, Rayner began a 34-year association with the rural young people of Saskatchewan. He was dedicated to the principle of development of the individual, and was one of the founders of the Canadian Council of Boys' and Girls' work in 1933. Rayner served as the council's president in 1937 and 1947, and was instrumental in getting the name "4-H" applied to rural youth clubs in Canada. He served as director of the Extension Department from 1920 until the time of his death in 1952. Rayner was a charter member of the Canadian Society of Technical Agriculturists (now the Agricultural Institute of Canada) of which he became a fellow. He was also a charter member of the Saskatchewan Institute of Agrologists. In 1965 the 4-H Foundation's Camp Rayner was named in Rayner’s honour, and in 1973 he was posthumously named to Saskatchewan's Hall of Fame. John Rayner died in Saskatoon on 30 June 1952.
Bio/Historical Note: As early as 1913 Agriculture Societies were sponsoring organizations for the youth the "Farm Boys Club and the Farm Girls Club". The Saskatchewan Agriculture Extension Department promoted the idea of separate classes for the juveniles to exhibit and judge their produce or livestock at local fairs. The "Farm Boys and Farm Girls Clubs" were combined and the name changed to "4-H Clubs" in 1952 and the motto became, "Learn To Do By Doing".

Canadian Vocational Training Program - Group Photo

Bio/Historical Note: The Dominion-Provincial Youth Training Program (DPYT) was a federal government measure created in 1937 that provided training and apprenticeship courses for young men and women between the ages of 16 and 30. $1 million in Dominion funds was given to the provinces in an effort to keep youth off public relief, prepare young people to eventually secure employment, and reduce pressure on the labour market. Courses for women were kept separate and distinct. Beginning in April 1940 the Youth Training Program was expanded, streamlined, and redirected towards the industrial training of young people for war work and eventually evolved into the War Emergency Training Program (1940-1946). Nearly $24 million was expended under this program and more than 300,000 persons received training. After World War II, six-week, residential, coeducational DPYT courses were conducted for eight years at Kenosee, North Battleford and Prince Albert; for two years at Canora, and for one year at Yorkton. The name of the DPYT was later changed to the Canadian Vocational Training Program (CVT). The program was terminated in the late 1950s.
