Animal Health Week 2022 – Habitat Protection and Pandemic Prevention
June 27, 2022
It is time to start planning for Animal Health Week 2022! Animal Health Week is an annual national public awareness campaign organized by the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) and hosted by veterinarians across Canada. Each year, through Animal Health Week, the veterinary community draws attention to an important health-related message. During the first week of October, veterinary teams across Canada promote a significant animal health message and responsible animal ownership as part of Animal Health Week celebrations.
Building on the previous two Animal Health Week campaigns, the CVMA is further exploring the One Health theme with Habitat Protection and Pandemic Prevention. From October 2 – 8, 2022, the CVMA will raise awareness about how disruption of animal habitats in various forms, from forests to farms, can impact the health of ecosystems and affect global human health.
Canada’s veterinary professionals occupy unique positions within the national One Health community and can help educate clients about how protecting animals’ health and habitats, protects everyone’s health.
Promotional tools, including a robust social media campaign, resources, and articles will be available to promote Animal Health Week across the country. A free Animal Health Week poster will be included in July’s issue of The Canadian Veterinary Journal. An additional poster will be mailed to veterinary hospitals and clinics across the country in August. As Animal Health Week nears, visit the Animal Health Week section of the CVMA website to find tips and tools to help plan your celebrations.
