The University of Saskatchewan’s Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM) will receive a combined $194M over the next five years through a renewed agreement from the governments of British Columbia, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. The funding supports WCVM’s operations, training, and clinical services, ensuring that it can deliver training that will address the animal care needs in each province. The number of seats will stay the same, with SK funding 25 seats, MB funding 20, and BC funding 40. CBC reports that no spaces will be reserved for international students. “We look forward to working together with the college’s funding partners on strategies that address Western Canada’s increasing need for veterinarians and animal health care services,” said WCVM Dean Dr Gillian Muir.
