Ontario Veterinary Medical Association

The Ontario Veterinary Medical Association (OVMA) is Canada's foremost veterinary association. Our mission is supporting veterinarians’ well-being and professional growth, to contribute to the advancement of animal and human health. We value: Integrity: We lead by example by taking pride in working honestly and doing what's right. Connection: We nurture relationships and build bridges between people, organizations, generations and cultural groups so they can all flourish. Community: We are community builders and believe we are stronger together. We are enriched by the differences in experience, background and perspective that each person brings. Innovation: We are trailblazers and lead the veterinary profession by remaining curious and doing things differently. Care: We strive to make a positive impact on the world around us by taking care of each other, ourselves and our planet. Thousands of veterinarians depend on us as their collective voice in the province. They also rely on us as their source for news, world-class continuing education, extensive practice management resources, and work-life balance and career advice. These services have been fundamental in helping practice owners, associates and students achieve their personal and professional goals. OVMA's charitable arm, the Farley Foundation, was created in 2002. It affords veterinarians the ability to help low-income pet owners with the unexpected costs of caring for a sick or injured pet. More than 13,500 pet owners have received more than $6 million in funding. Learn more at www.farleyfoundation.org.
