Call for CLC Vet Professional

The Manitoba Veterinary Medical Association (MVMA) is seeking a dedicated veterinary professional or technician to serve on the Community Liaison Committee (CLC). This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to fostering public trust, confidence, and cooperation between the Public Health Agency of Canada’s (PHAC) National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) and the Winnipeg community.

Term of Appointment: The selected committee member will serve a three-year term, with the possibility of renewal for up to two additional terms (a maximum of nine years in total).

Meetings: The CLC meets quarterly, with additional ad-hoc meetings arranged as needed by the Chairpersons. Meetings are held both virtually and in-person.

Role of the Committee Member:

  • Act as a representative of the veterinary medical community.
  • Help facilitate open and transparent communication between the NML and the Winnipeg community.
  • Inform and address community concerns related to activities at the CSCHAH and JC Wilt laboratories.
  • Serve as an ambassador to the community by sharing accurate information and promoting public engagement in science and safety.

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Dr. Judy Hodge for her years of dedication and service on the CLC. Her commitment to fostering transparent communication and strengthening the relationship between the veterinary community and the public has been invaluable. As Dr. Hodge transitions from this role, we are now seeking a new veterinary representative to continue this important work.

Veterinarians or Veterinary Technologists interested in joining the committee are encouraged to express their interest by contacting the MVMA Council via email. To apply, please reach out to Corey Wilson, Executive Director & Registrar, at registrar@mvma.ca

The deadline for submission is March 19th, 2025.

We look forward to your participation in this important community initiative.

For a detailed overview of the committee’s mandate, scope, and responsibilities, please refer to the Community Liaison Committee Terms of Reference
