Every October, The Registered Veterinary Technologists and Technicians of Canada - RVTTC commemorates RVT Month to recognize the dedication and expertise Registered Veterinary Technologists/Technicians (RVTs) bring to animal health care across the country.

From providing hands-on patient care and supporting diagnostics to educating clients and helping veterinary teams deliver quality care, their knowledge, skills, and compassion make a difference every day.

To all veterinary technicians and technologists, thank you for your dedication to animals, their owners, and the veterinary community!

Chaque année en octobre, l’Association des technologues et des techniciens vétérinaires agréés du Canada (TTVAC) célèbre le « Mois des TTV / TSA » afin de souligner le dévouement et l’expertise que les technologues vétérinaires et les techniciennes en santé animale apportent aux soins de santé animale partout au pays.

Qu’il s’agisse de prodiguer des soins directs aux patients, de soutenir les examens diagnostiques, d’informer la clientèle ou d’aider les équipes vétérinaires à offrir des soins de qualité, leurs connaissances, leurs compétences et leur compassion font une différence au quotidien.

À toutes les techniciennes en santé animale et à toutes les technologues vétérinaires : merci de votre engagement envers les animaux, leurs propriétaires et l’ensemble de la communauté vétérinaire!

Inspiring the next generation of veterinary professionals! 🌟

CVMA and the RISE Program, together with our WIDEA Committee, were proud to be one of the sponsors of the Celebrate Black Excellence event.

More than 500 visitors stopped by to explore veterinary science and learn about the many rewarding careers in veterinary medicine. Held at Scarborough Town Centre, the event provided a unique opportunity to connect with many young people and families, introducing them to the diverse ways veterinary professionals contribute to the health and well-being of animals, people, and communities.

We are especially proud of Dr. Keisha Harris, a valued WIDEA Committee member and Canadian VIBE Network co-founder, for volunteering and co-organizing this inspiring event. Initiatives like this help broaden awareness of veterinary careers, foster meaningful connections, and support a more diverse and inclusive future for the veterinary profession.

Together, we're helping ensure that every young person can see themselves reflected in the future of veterinary medicine.

Happy Thanksgiving! Please don't give into the temptation of sharing table scraps with your pets during this joyous occasion. Here are a few reasons why:

- Many pets have sensitive digestive systems and can’t handle human foods like gravy
- Others, like onions and garlic are poisonous
- Turkey bones are both a choking hazard and a death risk due to intestinal damage

***
Joyeuse Action de grâce! En cette période de réjouissances, vous ne devriez pas céder à la tentation de partager les restes de table avec vos animaux de compagnie. Voici pourquoi :

- Beaucoup d’animaux ont de la difficulté à digérer divers aliments pour humains, y compris la sauce.
- Certains ingrédients, comme les oignons et l’ail, sont toxiques pour les animaux.
- Les os de dinde s’associent à un risque d’étouffement et même de mort en raison des lésions intestinales qu’ils peuvent provoquer.
