We are very happy to have Laurentian Lodge (just north of Elliot Lake), host us once again this year. Those who attended last September can attest to a gorgeous northern setting and beautiful venue.

Please come join us this September 5th to 8th, 2024.

Our speaker this year is … Dr. Seanna Swayne, DVM, Dipl. ACVS-SA, she is returning to NOVA for a second time, and along with our own Dr. Olivia Stone will be enjoying her 20 year OVC reunion with us-congrats Seanna and Olivia!

Stay tuned for Seanna’s lecture topics, small animal surgery enthusiasts will be rewarded!
