Sat, Nov 15, 2025 Agenda: For CAVM Members Only + 1 (spouse, partner, guest). This event is FREE for CAVM Members and their +1. Link to flyer *PENDING Guest speaker presentation title: "Where There Are No Roads and No Vets: Improving Access to Veterinary Care in Canada’s Far North" Guest speaker presentation description: The veterinary shortage across Canada has been gaining awareness over the recent years. Unfortunately, lack of veterinarians and limited access to veterinary care has always been a reality in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. With a total population of over 80,000 residents - which is divided into 58 communities, with the majority of these being fly-in only - there are only 3 local veterinarians all of whom are located in Yellowknife, the capital of Northwest Territories. This leaves the remaining communities without regular access to veterinary care. Lack of access to veterinary services negatively affects human, animal, and environmental health, for example, community safety issues and potential increased rabies transmission between humans, dogs, and wildlife. To address these issues, Veterinarians Without Borders (VWB) North America’s Northern Animal Health Initiative (NAHI) delivers programming in collaboration with communities to increase access to veterinary services in Northwest Territories and Nunavut, Canada. Programming focuses on strengthening community capacity and One Health in these regions through interventions such as veterinary clinics, telehealth services, and Community Animal Health Worker training, alongside knowledge sharing and community engagement initiatives. Come learn about how VWB North America’s NAHI program is changing the lives of many animals across Canada’s North!
