PROVINCES RENEW COMMITMENT TO VETERINARY TRAINING IN WESTERN CANADA
I was honoured to be joined by Saskatchewan’s Minister of Agriculture, Daryl Harrison and speak on behalf of Premier Scott Moe and the Government of Saskatchewan.
As Minister of Advanced Education, I am incredibly proud that our great province is home to one of only two veterinary medicine schools in Western Canada.
Saskatchewan, British Columbia and Manitoba have renewed their financial commitment to the University of Saskatchewan’s Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM), continuing a long-standing interprovincial agreement that has been in place for six decades.
The renewed agreement provides more than $194 million to the WCVM over the next five years, helping ensure the college can deliver critical veterinary medicine programming, research and clinical services that address the needs of each province.
"We are proud of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine and the exceptional education opportunities it provides to veterinary students from across Western Canada,” Saskatchewan Advanced Education Minister Ken Cheveldayoff said. “We are grateful to have this internationally recognized college right here in Saskatchewan and are fully confident in USask’s ability to produce highly skilled veterinarians to care for both our livestock and companion animals.”
