The University of Guelph and the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC) were proud to award Roland (Roly) Browning Watt, K.C., a Doctor of Laws, honoris causa, during OVC’s Summer Convocation Ceremony on June 9, 2025. The honour recognized nearly five decades of volunteer leadership in fundraising at OVC, and myriad other places.  

The University of Guelph is strengthening veterinary care in northern Ontario through its recent partnership with Lakehead University, delivering the Collaborative Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program (CDVMP).

New OVC Pet Trust-funded research discovers microRNA elevated in dogs with osteosarcoma compared to healthy dogs; high expression levels were also associated with shorter survival times and a faster disease progression.  Findings could pave the way for new diagnostic tool for early detection and prognosis prediction in cancer patients.
