EspañolONTARIO VETERINARY COLLEGE
The 'Ontario Veterinary College' (OVC), in Canada, is Canada's oldest veterinary school located on the campus of the University of Guelph in Guelph, Ontario.
The Ontario Veterinary College is one of the oldest veterinary schools in North America. It was established in Toronto in 1862, by the Scot Andrew Smith, a graduate of the Dick Vet, Edinburgh. It later moved to Guelph, Ontario in 1922 and became a founding college of the University of Guelph in 1964. [1]
The OVC is the only veterinary college in the province of Ontario, and one of only four current veterinary colleges across Canada. (The other three are at the Université de Montréal, University of Prince Edward Island, and the University of Saskatchewan.) With the addition of a new veterinary college in Calgary, Alberta, in 2008, it will be the oldest of the five. [2].
OVC is semi-autonomous from the University of Guelph. While registrations and fees are paid to the Guelph registrar, OVC has amenities such as its own library, Information Technology Services, and student body council (the Central Veterinary Students Association). Each year (referred to as a Phase) also has its own council which works with the CVSA.
The main OVC building is located at the corner of Gordon and College Streets in Guelph, Ontario.
OVC offers bachelor's degrees in bio-medical science, but its primary degree offering is the DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine). The College also offers DVSc, PhD, MSc, and Diploma programs at the graduate level.
A proud tradition at OVC is the naming of the class with a mascot and a colour. This mascot represents them throughout the four phases, and is used regularly in conjunction with not only academics, but also intramurals. Hockey plays a large part in these intramurals, with rivalries coming to a head in a college wide "Challenge Cup", held in March of every year.
The current classes are:
★ The 2007 Golden Grizzles (Recently Graduated)
★ The 2008 Blue Qimmiqs
★ The 2009 Jade Jaguars
★ The 2010 Crimson Crocodiles [3]
★ The 2011 Black Mambas
