Brendan Delehanty is the Board Treasurer for Veterinarians Without Borders North America/Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Amérique du Nord U.S.
Brendan Delehanty joined the Veterinarians Without Borders North America/Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Amérique du Nord Board in 2019. He has a Master's degree in zoology from the University of British Columbia and a PhD in ecology and evolutionary biology from the University of Toronto. Brendan has worked as a wildlife biologist in Yukon, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan, and has done fieldwork in Alberta and Manitoba, as well.
He also earned a law degree and practised as a lawyer in Saskatchewan for 7 years before moving to Guelph, Ontario where he is a stay-at-home parent who still occasionally dabbles in ecological contract work. Brendan is enthusiastic about his role in VWB/VSF, and considers his interests in indigenous/northern communities and international work to be a good fit with the organization
#VETSVolunteerVoices brings you stories of our passionate VETS program volunteers from the field. Meet Dr. Joseph Ansong-Danquah, a Ghanaian-Canadian veterinarian who has volunteered with VWB in Ghana since 2017. In 2026, Joseph is completing his final VETS placement after nine years of supporting farmers, communities, partner organizations and fellow volunteers across the country.
Join the VWB community for a virtual look at the stories, people, partnerships and progress that shaped our work this year — and hear what’s ahead for Veterinarians Without Borders as we continue working for healthier animals, people and communities around the world.
In this edition of Ask an Expert, we spoke with Hannah (Tsai-Ping) Liao, whose MSc research at the University of Guelph examined what decades of Community Animal Health Worker (CAHW) programs can teach us about building sustainable, community-led animal health systems in northern Canada.
