OVC featured on CBC - Mercer Report

Comedian and political satirist Rick Mercer takes viewers behind the scenes of the Ontario Veterinary College in this week’s installment of the Rick Mercer Report, which aired last night on CBC at 8 p.m.

The five-minute segment opened the program and included footage from College Royal festivities. Mercer then met OVC’s Rob Swackhammer, pictured with Rick below, at the Ponsonby research stations. There he learned to examine a pregnant dairy cow and how to “tip” a sheep. Back in Guelph, Mercer toured the OVC campus and interacted with faculty and students.

The University of Guelph clip is uploaded to the show’s website and listed under Top 5 Videos This Week and in the show’s archives for the week of March 28. To watch the video, go to: http://www.cbc.ca/mercerreport
