Province Celebrates Veterinary Technician Week

Released on October 10, 2014

Today, Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart recognized the contributions of Saskatchewan’s veterinary technicians and technologists by proclaiming October 12-18 as Veterinary Technician Week in the province.

“Veterinary technologists play an important role in animal health and welfare by enhancing the quality of animal care in Saskatchewan,” Stewart said.  “Veterinary Technician Week is an opportunity to recognize the hard work and dedication of these individuals who show a true passion for animal health.”

There are more than 400 registered Veterinary Technologists in Saskatchewan who do important work every day promoting progressive and humane medical care for all animals.

“This week is intended to remind people of the high ethical standards of Veterinary Technologists and the pride they take in their work and professional advancement,” Saskatchewan Association of Veterinary Technologists President-Elect Jan Erickson said.

The proclamation of Veterinary Technician Week in Saskatchewan coincides with National Veterinary Technician Week observed across Canada.  In Saskatchewan, the week is sponsored by the Saskatchewan Association of Veterinary Technologists, which has been serving veterinary technicians and technologists in the province since 1984.
