Some Vets from the Canadian Animal Assistance Team [CATT] will visit Nain from September 8 -15 2008.
Dogs and cats can be spayed, neutered, de-wormed and vaccinated against rabies, distemper, parvo virus and/or examined for other medical problems.
Pet owners are asked to call the Nain Inuit community government office as soon as possible at 922 2842.
The location of the clinic will be announced soon.
It has been many years since a Vet visited Nain; even then it was a provincial government Vet. Not that there is anything wrong with provincial government Vets, it’s just that they only did vaccinations against rabies or other virus’s.
This clinic would not have happened if it was not for the hard work of a couple of people here in the community. Won’t mention names but they do a lot of volunteer work with all sorts of animals.
I agree with this guy, not that Inuit communities on the coast have the poverty of some of the First nations reserves, but there is still much inequality and most of the goings on at the NG are "not to be discussed", time to get over that and introduce some democracy. I know things are changing, but still a long way to go.
And what about this big rivalry, we are removed from it here, but it seems to shake the world in some quarters.

What's a medal... just a lump of metal on a ribbon. I think they all deserve medals just for being there.
