The Issue of Overwhelmed vet clinics and stray pets might have an answer through mobile spay and neuter clinics.
The Northern and Remote Veterinary Care initiative was announced by Agriculture Minister Ron Kostyshyn and Indigenous Economic Development Minister Ian Bushie which supports the Humane Societies One Health Program, and "Feed The Furbabies Canada".
This initiative includes $100,000 in funding to the One Health Program to enhance mobile spay and neuter clinics in northern and remote communities.
This will include the creation of the provincial veterinarian for animal welfare, who will lead Manitoba’s animal welfare program. This position will complement the work of the existing chief veterinary officer who will now focus on the health of both commercial and companion animals.
Kostyshyn adds an additional $100,000 to the Winnipeg Humane Society will be used to support the efforts of Feed the Furbabies Canada in its work to support spay and neutering clinics and supply food and supplies for animals in need across Manitoba
working together, these organizations will focus on feeding sheltered animals and providing a higher standard of care for remote northern communities.
