The Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC) is proud to introduce the Indigenous Vet Camp Pilot Project, an initiative designed to inspire and engage Indigenous youth with a passion for veterinary medicine. This unique program provides hands-on experiences, educational workshops, and the opportunity to learn from leading professionals in the field, all while honouring and integrating Indigenous knowledge and perspectives.

Thanks to the generous financial support from our partner, VCA Canada, this pilot project has been made possible. Their commitment to supporting Indigenous communities and advancing veterinary education aligns with our mission at AVC. Thank you also to our Indigenous partners at Mi'kmaw Kina'matnewey.

We are currently evaluating the success of this pilot project and plan to make an announcement in January regarding the official launch of the Indigenous Vet Camp for summer 2025. Stay tuned for updates!
