On Tuesday, October 15, the incredibly gracious and knowledgeable team at Assiniboine Park Zoo welcomed WCVM and U of M Pre-Vet students for an insightful experience into the world of zoo veterinary care. The morning provided a fantastic glimpse into the important veterinary work being done here in Manitoba. A special highlight was meeting some amazing animals, including the seals, polar bears, and even the office skunk!

A heartfelt thank you to Council Member Dr. Gwenda Olson for attending, and to Dr. Charlene Berkven for organizing this memorable visit. We are also deeply grateful to Dr. Andrea Nace, Dr. Sandie Black, Dr. Abby Henry, and RVT Desiree Majure for their time and expertise.
