Animals in the northern regions of Canada tend to live shorter lives, dying from diseases and causes that are either treatable or preventable.
We support communities by offering temporary veterinary clinics in under-served areas in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Once invited, we work to identify needs and build a plan with community representatives to increase the local capacity to address animal care needs year-round.
As of 2022, we have launched an expanded program to continue our work in the Canadian North, partnering with ten communities and focusing on sustainable solutions.
Veterinarians without Borders values our donor relationships. We adhere to the standards published by Imagine Canada's Ethical Code Program, which lays out a set of principles for charitable organizations, and assures that they manage and report their financial affairs responsibly.
