This initiative is a direct result of the Ontario SPCA's strategic commitment to increasing access to veterinary services across the province and supporting animal welfare in the North.
The Ontario SPCA and Humane Society, in partnership with Collège Boréal, is pleased to announce the opening of the Ontario SPCA Sudbury Regional Veterinary Clinic.
Located at 21 Lasalle Blvd. on the Collège Boréal campus, the new clinic offers spay/neuter and basic veterinary services for publicly owned dogs and cats, local rescue organizations, and animals in the care of the Ontario SPCA Sudbury & District Animal Centre.
In addition to providing essential care, the clinic also supports the training of future veterinary professionals. It serves as a hands-on learning facility for students enrolled in Collège Boréal's Veterinary Care Technician program, preparing graduates to meet the rising demand for veterinary services in their communities.
Registration for a spay or neuter procedure at the new clinic will be available once a month on the Ontario SPCA's website at ontariospca.ca/spayneuter, with the next registration taking place on Aug. 5, 2025.
This partnership not only helps us provide access to veterinary services in the community, but it also helps us train more veterinary professionals. With veterinary shortages reaching crisis levels, particularly in Northern Ontario, this clinic is one step toward addressing the growing needs of the community.

Collège Boréal is proud to join this meaningful partnership that helps the Ontario SPCA Sudbury Regional Veterinary Clinic to offer accessible preventative care to animals in Northern communities. By working together, our students will also gain valuable experiential learning opportunities, enhancing skills in communication, teamwork, and professionalism. This collaboration enriches our curriculum, supports community health, and prepares future Registered Veterinary Technicians for success in today's evolving veterinary care industry.
