The University of Guelph’s Ontario Veterinary College (OVC) will have new cutting-edge surgical facilities for companion animals, thanks to a $2.5-million leadership gift from La Fondation Emmanuelle Gattuso.

The gift was made through the Friends Together for Longer fundraising campaign of OVC’s Pet Trust, and will support the $9-million project to create new surgery and anesthesia facilities.

This donation will be recognized with the naming of the James Slaight Advanced Surgical Complex within the new facilities. The complex will consist of multiple operating suites equipped to offer numerous routine and advanced surgical procedures.

“This incredible gift will allow OVC to continue to be at the forefront of veterinary medicine here in Canada and around the world,” said U of G president Franco Vaccarino.

“With these sophisticated new facilities, OVC will provide the most advanced care possible, benefiting pets and their owners. Our students — the veterinarians of the future – will also have access to the latest technology and techniques.”
