Northern College of Applied Arts and Technology Ontario

An elderly lady pets a purring cat and feels a little less lonely. A therapy dog visits a sick boy in hospital. The kids play with their puppy in the park. Pets, large and small, bring joy and companionship to our lives. All they need in return is our care and attention.

If you love animals and want to work with them, the School of Veterinary Sciences welcomes you!
