So proud of Tracy.

The ABVTA would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to the 2023 award recipients who were honoured at the annual ABVMA/ABVTA Member Recognition Banquet in February!

For a glimpse into the extraordinary accomplishments of these recipients, we'll be starting a series that aims to highlight each and every award recipient! We celebrate their dedication and success in making a positive impact to the health and welfare of animals and in the veterinary profession.

Our first featured recipient is Technologist of the Year – Tracy Tee, RVT

Nominated by: Dr. Rienske Mortier, Tracy has made an indelible mark in the livestock industry over her impressive 10-year career. Serving as the sole technologist for seven veterinarians at Prairie Livestock Veterinarians in Red Deer, Tracy's exceptional ability to unite and lead the team stands out. Despite facing a significant workload, Tracy's integrity, and unwavering kindness shine through, especially during challenging times like the avian influenza outbreak in the past two years.

Her dedication to timely lab results, conducting necropsies, and on-call sample collection exemplifies her commitment to the well-being of both poultry and swine teams. Tracy's determination to excel extends to acquiring new skills, as demonstrated by her innovative approach to blood collection from wild boars. Moreover, Tracy's commitment to building strong connections within the rural community, fostering relationships with food animal producers and staff, showcases her genuine passion for the industry. Her role in training students and new veterinarians further underscores Tracy's invaluable contributions.

Congratulations, Tracy!
