The Ontario Veterinary Medical Association (OVMA) is Canada's foremost veterinary association. Our mission is to contribute to the betterment of animal health and welfare and the protection of human health by advancing and promoting excellence in the veterinary profession in Ontario. Thousands of veterinarians depend on us as their collective voice in the province. They also rely on us as their source for news, world-class continuing education, extensive practice management resources, and work-life balance and career advice. These services have been fundamental in helping practice owners, associates and students achieve their personal and professional goals. OVMA's charitable arm, the Farley Foundation, was created in 2002. It affords veterinarians the ability to help low-income pet owners with the unexpected costs of caring for a sick or injured pet. More than 10,500 pet owners have received more than $4.5 million in funding. Learn more at www.farleyfoundation.org. OVMA also administers the SafePet program, which helps individuals fleeing intimate partner violence by providing veterinary intake and fostering for their pet during their stay in a shelter.
