Are you a local producer who works closely with regional veterinarians? If yes, please share your feedback in this short, 10-question survey by June 30!

At this year's ASB Provincial Conference, there was a question from a neighbouring municipality about the inclusion of veterinarians in the Canada Student Loan Forgiveness Program. As a result, a survey is being circulated to collect producer perspectives on the economic value of veterinary access in rural areas. This data will help to support advocacy efforts at the federal level.

The anonymous survey is open until June 30. Thanks for your support!

This survey is intended to gather input from Alberta farmers and ranchers on the importance of veterinary services to agricultural productivity, animal health, and business viability. Results may  be used to support advocacy efforts to the Government of Canada for the inclusion of veterinarians...
