More than 120 friends and colleagues of OVC Pet Trust gathered at the Fund's annual forum, held recently at the Ontario Veterinary College.

The event included a financial update by Stephen Woeller, OVC director of development, and a recap of research activities funded by OVC Pet Trust, by Dr. Gordon Kirby, OVC associate dean of innovation and research. The Ask a Vet session, with OVC graduates Drs. Barbara Drewry and Mary DeCaire fielding questions, led to a lively discussion on selective breeding in dogs, among other topics. Dr. Debbie Stoewen spoke on the human/animal bond.

Tours of the OVC Teaching Hospital Small Animal Clinic followed lunch.

The event was made possible by the generous support of Medi-Cal/Royal Canin Veterinary Diet, whose sponsorship helped make the day possible.
