Greetings everyone!

Your NOVA Executive is excited to bring you NOVA 2024!

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!

FORE! That’s right, the coveted race for the Brown Jacket returned in 2023 and we will continue the tradition at the gorgeous Stone Ridge Golf Course.
