OSPCA Volunteer Opportunities
The OSPCA has some amazing volunteer opportunities for veterinary medical professionals looking to get involved in High-Quality, High-Volume spay/neuter clinics (MASH events). These events provide a unique chance to work alongside some pretty amazing people, provide valuable hands-on experience, and the opportunity to enhance skills in a fast-paced, high-impact setting. It’s also very rewarding to see the impact this makes for first nations communities while contributing to animal welfare.
As there are veterinary medical professionals from across the province volunteering in these events it can help expand your professional network, connect with like-minded colleagues, and even open doors to future career opportunities.
**Special call for volunteers – while volunteer opportunities exist for all events, we have a specific need for the Constance Lake event taking place May 22 -25, plus travel days before and after the event.**
