Yeah The vet camp uh came to see me a
week before just because they wanted to add our cultural
and traditional ways into their program and I just thought
that was so beautiful and uh. It's really nice
to have us come together in agreement in what we
can do for uh these students to bring the best
out of them. This is our 2nd year of
doing our indigenous camp, um, so most of
them come from Nova Scotia, Cape Breton area,
um, and we're this week we're doing a lot
of um learning back and forth so it's not just
us teaching the indigenous campers it's also them teaching us
their culture. Um, and how to kind of
integrate their culture into the ways we do that med
and how we can integrate those into one health.
So what made you want to come to vet camp
? Last year my friends, um, they kind
of just bugged me to go next year, so
I was like, OK, why not? I
really like vets and I wanted to be one when
I was little. Today we have a couple different
sessions, so our first session we had was microscopes
, so they get to. Look at what a
vet would do under the microscope in a clinic.
All right, so we need to focus this up
a little bit. Later on we're doing a bovine
so cow physical exam, so they'll get to see
our, um, resident cow who lives here,
um, and they'll get to go through a full
physical exam with one of our specialist doctors downstairs.
What have you got to do so far? We
got, we got to learn. I learned about
animals going extinct, how they're going extinct, and
why and all that stuff. They always keep us
busy and all that stuff which is good it's like
you don't have to be bored just staying in your
dorm. Once I knew more of the program,
I was even fascinated myself knowing that these children have
our students have an opportunity to uh examine more of
the animals and see the animals that are healing and
you know there's a lot of empathy because uh most
children grow up they love animals to be around them
and it's nice that they're even able to come in
here. And learn about how to take care of
your animals and pets and how valuable they are because
they are. They got a spirit too like us --> .
