OVC Pet Trust is Canada’s first charitable fund dedicated to the health and well-being of companion animals. Established in 1986 at the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC), gifts to OVC Pet Trust support a wide range of initiatives—from clinical care and education to pioneering research. Donations help build state-of-the-art facilities like the Medical and Surgical Learning Centre, support critical upgrades to the ICU, and fund research into diseases like cancer through initiatives such as The Smiling Blue Skies Cancer Fund.
