 In 2008 the World Veterinary Association sets another mark. This will be the 145th year since what the WVA was first organized and presented the first World Veterinary Congress in Hamburg, Germany in 1863. The important history of the WVA is in the process of being written and will soon be published for all to enjoy.
The WVA has made many notable accomplishments in 145 years, but much remains to be done in support of the global veterinary profession in its care of the health and welfare of animals and the public’s health throughout the world. A major way for the WVA to accomplish its mission is to furnish the latest scientific knowledge in the art and practice of veterinary medicine at a Congress every three years. Since it has been three years from the 28th Congress, it is time for another outstanding congressional experience.
The 29th World Veterinary Congress will be held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on July 28-31, 2008. This promises to be an excellent Congress in a wonderful venue. The Congress registration is now open and I encourage you register now and make you travel plans to beautiful British Columbia.
The theme of the 29th Congress is “Come Celebrate Our Diversity”. I encourage you to plan now for your WVA celebration of the diversity of the veterinary profession.
Dr Leon H. Russell
President
