AVC Celebrates 20th Annual Open House on September 27
Where can you pet a goat, dress in surgery scrubs, see some really big turtles and have your favourite teddy bear checked out by a vet student? Join animal lovers and the curious at the Atlantic Veterinary College's 20th annual Open House to be held from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm on Saturday, September 27th.
The event is free to the public and features a behind-the-scenes glimpse of life in a veterinary medical school, including demonstrations, a petting zoo, junior surgery (learn how to cap and gown) and the ever-popular Teddy Bear Clinic. Kids: bring your favourite teddy bear or stuffed toy and have them checked out by one of our veterinary students!
Third-year vet student and Open House coordinator Mattie McMaster says, 'It is a wonderful opportunity for the public to visit the College and see first-hand how students, staff and faculty keep our pets, farm animals and wildlife healthy.'
AVC's annual Open House is one of the largest, most successful Open Houses in Atlantic Canada and is part of Homecoming Weekend activities at the University of Prince Edward Island. Everyone is welcome!
