The Ontario Animal Health Network (OAHN) has had a busy spring, having held our OAHN Annual General Meeting (AGM), and the Ontario Indigenous Fish Health Day, and also produced multiple reports and veterinary resources.

Indigenous Fish Health Day
The Ontario Animal Health Network for Aquatic Animals organized the Indigenous Fish Health Day on May 8, to present information and answer questions in a non-regulatory, open discussion format. OAHN is dedicated to information dissemination and knowledge transfer. We were fortunate to have presentations from experts at the CWHC, OMAFA, the AHL, and Skretting Canada.
