Clubs and extracurricular activities
There is plenty to do at Ontario Veterinary College aside from your studies, including clubs with like-minded students on the same path you are.
Clubs
There are over 25 DVM-related student clubs on campus, overseen by the Central Veterinary Students’ Association (CVSA) for many topics of interest like the environment, diversity, surgery, and animal welfare to name a few. Clubs provide opportunities to broaden your education experience, networking and educational activities for its members to enhance and encourage a well-rounded education.
For current students, a full list is available on the CVSA Intranet site (Note: requires UofG login).
