New veterinarians who choose to provide animal care in northern and underserviced areas could earn up to $50,000 over five years, thanks to a new provincial initiative.
Delivered by the Agricultural Adaptation Council, the program will incentivize up to 100 new veterinarians, with the aim of easing Ontario’s ongoing shortage of animal care practitioners. “By encouraging new veterinary graduates to practice in underserviced areas, the Veterinary Incentive Program will help address labour shortages head on, connect highly skilled veterinarians to great careers, and support local economic growth.”
