Northern Animal Health Resources

As part of our Northern Animal Health Initiative, the team works with communities to identify resources that will help strengthen animal health capacity. We are committed to protecting and fostering Indigenous languages in the communities we partner with. To ensure these resources are widely accessible, we have listed them here.

We also work to support northern students and residents to pursue animal- and one-health education opportunities. Learn more about our Access to Care awards program.
