Lakehead University is set to welcome thousands of students this fall, bringing a renewed sense of energy and possibility to its Thunder Bay and Orillia campuses as the fall 2025/26 academic year begins.

This September, the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC) at the University of Guelph will welcome its inaugural Northern Cohort—20 students from Northern Ontario embarking on their journey to become veterinarians through the Collaborative Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Program (CDVMP), a groundbreaking partnership between the University of Guelph and Lakehead University.

Construction is set to begin on Lakehead University’s new animal education facility to support the Collaborative Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Program, delivered in partnership with the University of Guelph, to help address northern Ontario’s critical veterinarian shortage.
