Their summer employment is to show people how to have fun in Niagara and mid-western Ontario, better known as Festival Country. The five students are hired under the Youth Secretariat ’s Experience ’83 Program as travel ambassadors. Working in two teams of two, with one supervisor (centre), the Festival Country ambassadors visit malls, attrac ­ tions and events to distribute tourism related promotional material. “It’s not hard to be enthusiastic about Festival Country”, say the ambas ­ sadors, “It offers some of the best travel experiences on the continent!” The summer program is one of dozens of activities done by the Festival Country Travel Association to promote travel in Niagara and mid-western Ontario. One publication produced by the association lists over 600 fairs, festivals and special events going on throughout the year, the basis for its name.

    WESTERN COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE WHITE COAT CEREMONY 2013 2013 WHITE COAT CEREMONY Class OF 2017 VETERINARIAN’S OATH As a member of the veterinary medical profession, I solemnly swear that I will use my scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society. I will strive to promote animal health and welfare, relieve animal suffering, protect the health of the public and environment, and advance comparative medical knowledge. I will practise my profession conscientiously, with dignity, and in keeping with the principles of veterinary medical ethics. I will strive continuously to improve my professional knowledge and competence and to maintain the highest professional and ethical standards for myself and the profession. 2013 WHITE COAT CEREMONY WHITE COAT CEREMONY For decades, western Canadian students with a passion for veterinary medicine had to leave their region to pursue their dreams. The situation changed in 1963 when Canada’s western provinces agreed to establish a regional veterinary college at the University of Saskatchewan. In 1969 the first class of veterinarians graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, and the new building was officially dedicated. Nearly 50 years later, the co-operative spirit that created the WCVM is alive and well. The College’s regional responsibilities for providing veterinary education, expertise and research are officially recognized in the Interprovincial Agreement — a unique document that is updated and renewed by the western provinces and the WCVM every five years. As a regional college, the WCVM provides veterinary education to undergraduate students who are residents of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the northern territories.

  • Wild Neighbours the Safety and Security of Ontario's Wildlife in Captivity Facilities
    WILD NEIGHBOURS The Safety and Security of Ontario's Wildlife in Captivity Facilities <H1> Photo caption here Tigers are dangerous animals that retain their wild instincts, and they must be treated with extreme caution. The large (and possibly growing) number of people who keep tigers is a cause for concern. There is a significant danger posed by captive tigers, even when they are cared for by professionals and held in facili- ties that take all the required safety precautions. The risk of tigers causing human injury and death is highest when this risk is underestimated, such as when tigers are kept as pets, used as a prop for photographs, or people come in direct contact with them to feed, clean cages, or pet them—with or without a cage separating people and tigers.

Many people do not realize that reptiles are abandoned just like cats and dogs. Sadly, over 90% of people that purchase reptiles at other rep- tile “zoos” and pet stores do not keep the reptile. Reptiles frequently die due to improper care, are given up because they have grown too large, lived too long or are too difficult to care for. When animals are seized by Wildlife Canada, The Ministry of Natural Resources, OSPCA, Humane Society Of- ficers, the reptiles are brought to Indian River Reptile Zoo. In order to house and care for these animals and others that we rescue, we have started a non- profit corporation called The Indian River Reptile Fund. This fund will also support the expansion of enclosures for the animals at the zoo and the construction of an enclosure to house the Perentie Monitors gifted to us by the Australia Zoo and Tourism Australia.
