Across North America, Veterinarians Without Borders North America/Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Amérique du Nord (VWB/VSF) is dedicated to developing partnerships with remote communities in the Canadian territories, working in collaboration with community representatives to identify needs and create comprehensive plans to enhance local capacity for year-round animal care.
