CVO Annual Report 2024 | 5
As tennis great Arthur Ashe said “ Success is in the journey not the destination . The doing is often more important than the outcome ”.
To that end , we now have two Councils , a Legacy Council and a Transition Council , focused on delivering on their specific mandates with the public interest at the centre of their decisions .
This opportunity to create and implement a new piece of legislation that sets the stage for the future of the veterinary profession is a rare privilege . Our new foundation of “ one profession , two professionals ” aims to provide the public and their animals with a modern approach to quality and safety in animal health care . We have a rich history on which to build — almost 150 years worth ! Shaping our next regulatory “ guide book ” is a task the College is handling with great care .
Over the next 18 months or so , we will move toward full proclamation of the Veterinary Professionals Act . Broad consultations will be prominent during this time and we look forward to continuing to use all voices to make great decisions on behalf of the public and the profession . We welcome the collective desire to get this right .
