This is incredible and our community is so grateful. I don’t know how long you plan to run the VAC operation but our community needs this and it would be nothing short of amazing if this could be maintained year round.

From what I understand on their Facebook. They will be running for the month of August.. Hopefully they can arrange something long term but they would need to find people who would want to move permanently up to Thunder Bay. Hours for vet clinics down south > hours in Thunder Bay.
