British Columbia to permanently double the number of subsidized seats at Vet College in Saskatchewan

The number of B.C. seats at Saskatchewan’s veterinary college will increase to 40 thanks to a significant financial contribution.

A dramatic uptick in pet ownership during the COVID-19 pandemic and demand for a large animal specialists has led to an urgent shortage of veterinary professionals not only in Western Canada, but across North America.

The B.C. government is doubling the number of subsidized seats for B.C. veterinary students at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM) at the University of Saskatchewan (USask).

B.C. Minister of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills Selina Robinson said there was a need to increase support to WCVM.

Drone Flight & Baling Success at Last!

After weeks of rain delays and frustration, we finally have a reason to smile — it’s hay time again at Ewetopia Farms! In today’s episode, we head out to the fields where Arnie is baling hay, and I attempt my second drone flight to capture it all from the air. The drone still had some hiccups, but I managed to get some aerial footage of the baling process.

Back at the farm, the work doesn’t stop. Arnie brings the bales home, and the next critical step begins — wrapping and stacking the bales to make haylage. This process is essential for preserving feed for our sheep and ensures they have nutritious forage in the months ahead.

It’s a good day on the farm — the sun is out, the drone is flying (sort of!), and we’re making progress. Join us for a satisfying and productive day that brings a long-awaited sigh of relief to this year’s challenging hay season.
