Staff highlights
At the Animal Health Canada meeting in September, Dr. Jim Fairles was the recipient of this year’s Carl Block Award. This prestigious award is presented to an individual for outstanding contributions in the field of livestock animal health in memory of Carl Block, a cattleman whose tireless dedication to Canadian agriculture and commitment to animal health will long be remembered.
“The vision of AHC is inspired by individuals who demonstrate outstanding contribution by their actions and behaviour. AHC is honored to bring to light the contribution of some of those individuals who often work in the shadow, but generate real change in the Canadian landscape of Animal Health and Welfare, and public-private collaboration” Dr. René Roy, AHC industry Co-chair
