The Equine Foundation of Canada (EFC) has provided the University of Prince Edward Island’s Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC), in Canada, with $127,000 for state-of-the-art equipment used to diagnose and treat lameness, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal conditions in horses.

The donation from the EFC matches funds received from the Canadian government for the purchase of the equipment. Susan Nelson, treasurer of the EFC, recently visited AVC to present a check to Dean Greg Keefe, DVM, MSc, MBA, and Heather Gunn-McQuillan, DVM, director of AVC’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH). During her visit, Nelson toured the VTH and saw some of the equipment purchased with the funding.

“With this funding from the EFC and the Government of Canada, we have expanded and enhanced the services we provide to our equine patients,” said Keefe, dean of AVC. “In addition, the state-of-the-art equipment we have purchased has great value for the education of our students, particularly those who plan to specialize in equine veterinary medicine. I thank the Equine Foundation of Canada for its ongoing support of AVC.”

The volunteer-based EFC has donated more than $207,000 to AVC since 1987
