B.C. Renews Interprovincial Agreement for Veterinary Training in Saskatchewan
- On May 22, 2025, British Columbia, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan renewed a funding agreement at the University of Saskatchewan.
- The renewal extends a five-decade collaboration that provides $194 million over five years to support veterinary education and research at the University of Saskatchewan, with the agreement now lasting through 2030.
- The agreement maintains 88 student seats distributed by province, but the college cannot increase enrollment due to space limits despite high demand.
- Saskatchewan Minister Ken Cheveldayoff stated the funding helps maintain critical programs, while Dean Gillian Muir said, "We don't have any space" for more students.
- The funding ensures ongoing veterinary training to meet provincial needs, but experts urge expanding seats and bridging programs to address shortages in Western Canada.
