Leadership

Message
Charting two courses simultaneously— the adventure of the familiar and the new.
This Annual Report is unlike any other. It speaks primarily to the continuing solid and thoughtful leadership of the existing College of Veterinarians of Ontario( College) and recognizes the emerging important strategic work of the Transition Council of the yet to be proclaimed College of Veterinary Professionals of Ontario( CVPO).
This is a daunting and exhilarating period in our history. The energy and commitment of two Councils and College staff cannot be overstated as we work tirelessly with our many sector partners to serve the public interest in the regulation of veterinary medicine in Ontario.
With the anticipation of the proclamation of the new Act in the coming months, the College remains steadfast in delivering its mandated regulatory programs— licensure, facility accreditation, complaints management, and quality assurance. And while the development of new policy at the College is winding down, attention to our continued advancement and improvement remains front and centre.
