Université de Montréal Faculty of Veterinary Medicine
The Faculté de médecine vétérinaire at Université de Montréal is one of a few veterinary medical schools in Canada. It is the only French-language veterinary college in North America. The faculty is part of the Université de Montréal and found in Saint-Hyacinthe, Québec near Montreal, Quebec. [1]
The veterinary college was located in Oka, Québec before moving to Saint-Hyacinthe, Québec in 1947. In Oka, the veterinary college formed part of an agricultural-veterinary educational centre operated by the Trappists. This centre was financed by the Québec Department of Agriculture. [1]
The Centre became the direct responsibility of the Québec Department of Agriculture from 1947-1969. In 1969, the Centre became a Université de Montréal faculty. Considerable development in staff and facilities has taken place. [1]
