Manitoba Veterinary Technologists Association
A Brief History
The first meeting held by Animal Health Technologists in Manitoba was on May 12th 1982, at the U of M Agriculture Services Centre with only 10 registered members. There was discussion of joining the Saskatchewan Association but it was decided to form our own Manitoba Association. A name was determined – initially Manitoba Animal Health Technicians Association but was changed to Manitoba Animal Health Technologists Association soon after. In November 2016, the name was once again changed to the Manitoba Veterinary Technologists Association (MVTA) in order to reflect the professions title change from Animal Health Technologist to Veterinary Technologists (VT) in the Veterinary Medical Act.
The process of registering MVTA with the Manitoba government was initiated and the first Annual General Meeting was held August 28th, 1982, in Brandon. The logo was discussed at the first AGM and decided upon: the outline of the province with a bison in the centre, “AHT” at the bottom, and “Manitoba Animal Health Technologists Association” underneath.
In 2017, the logo was revamped showcasing a modern version of the original. The MVTA was incorporated in November, 1982 and had the first Veterinary Technologist National Exam sitting in June of1987.
