NS increases number of seats reserved at UPEI Atlantic Veterinary College

The Government of Nova Scotia has signed a five-year, $50.8M agreement with the University of Prince Edward Island’s Atlantic Veterinary College to increase the number of seats reserved for Nova Scotians. The number of first-year seats reserved for NS residents will increase from 16 to 24 starting this fall. “Nova Scotia needs more veterinarians to care for our animals,” said NS Minister of Advanced Education Brian Wong. “We’ve had a positive partnership with the Atlantic Veterinary College for many years, and we’re looking to continue investing in the college to offer a high-quality education in veterinary medicine, while increasing the number of available seats to train the veterinarians Nova Scotia needs.”
