Ontario Passes Veterinary Professionals Act
June 18, 2024
In late May, the Ontario government passed the Veterinary Professionals Act, 2024, representing more than 10 years of advocacy work by the Ontario Veterinary Medical Association (OVMA). The association has been an active voice in sharing the concerns and challenges that members have faced in providing care to their patients under the previous regulatory framework.
The new legislation addresses longstanding concerns of Ontario veterinarians and allows for growth and innovation to ensure the profession builds on its excellence in animal care. Over the next year, the OVMA will work to ensure the act’s regulations reflect the needs of the profession moving forward under the new College of Veterinary Professionals of Ontario.
