Huron-Bruce MPP Lisa Thompson announced the Ontario government is investing over $15 million dollars to help address veterinary shortages in rural & northern communities, making it easer for farmers and large animal owners to access veterinary care when and where they need it.
The funding will be used to establish a new Collaborative Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program at the University of Guelph and Lakehead University to train more vets.
The government is also providing grants to new veterinary graduates as an incentive to work in underserviced areas of the province.
