Atlantic provinces sign 10-year agreement for Atlantic Veterinary College
The Premier of Prince Edward Island, along with the premiers of Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, announced on January 19, 2015 that they have signed a ten-year interprovincial funding agreement for the Atlantic Veterinary College.
The Atlantic provinces have agreed to share in the funding for the ongoing operating and maintenance costs of educating students at the AVC. The biggest change in the agreement from past ones is that it is for a ten-year period, which will provide for more consistent and stabilized funding.
Vice-President Academic Christian Lacroix said, 'It provides us with a very stable window of funding, long-term funding. And also it's a testimony that our Atlantic provinces continue to support and value the work of the AVC.'
