The Alberta Veterinary Medical Association (ABVMA) will be attempting to provide direction to the Government of Alberta again this year to amend the Veterinary Profession Act (VPA) in an effort to control and regulate all Alternative/Complimentary Therapies. This action WILL exempt the majority of Alternative/Complimentary Therapists, making it illegal for them to work, and WILL greatly affect your rights as an Animal Owner.
Please take the time to become a member of the AAAOR and educate yourself on the issues at hand by visiting the website at www.aaaor.ca. Get involved, have your voice heard and help to inform others of this potential threat to our freedom of choice.
