Leadership Message CVO Annual Report 2024 | 4 istory n the aking
2024 — what a year ! And what a roller coaster !
With the strong leadership of the Ontario government , the Veterinary Professionals Act received Royal Assent on June 6 . While 12-plus years in the making , the legislation took only 12 weeks to pass through the various phases of the legislative process . This fast-paced period was intense , and exciting ; it was also testament to all of the good work done in preparation .
It has been incredibly rewarding to work with our many partners along this journey . With over 30 organizations actively engaged in shaping the outcome , we have spent much time conversing across the industry , confirming our understanding , building consensus , and cementing a common vision for the future . In particular , we are grateful for our open and collegial relationships with the Ontario Veterinary Medical Association and the Ontario Association for Veterinary Technicians .
As with all change management initiatives , we are in the middle of a transition as we complete the work of the Veterinarians Act and develop the supporting regulations and by-laws for the new Veterinary Professionals Act .
