Delegate – UofA Pre-Vet/Animal Health Club

Darcy Owen

Hi everyone! My name is Darcy Owen, I am in my first year of Animal Health Science at the University of Alberta. I am an executive of the U of A Pre-Vet club and the CPVMA delegate for our club this year. I am deeply passionate about animal health, welfare, and the advancement of veterinary education. In the future I hope to pursue a career in mixed animal practice and shelter medicine. Being part of the CPVMA allows me to connect with other pre-veterinary students across Canada and contribute to initiatives that support learning, leadership, and professional growth within the veterinary field. My goal is to provide the Pre-Vet community with the resources they need to succeed and find their passion. I’m proud to represent my school and to help further the CPVMA’s mission of supporting the next generation of veterinarians through compassion, knowledge, and dedication. Feel free to reach out to me or my awesome team at prevet@ualberta.ca or on Instagram @uofaprevetclub.

Delegate – YU Pre-Vet Club

Amaal Hassan

Hi there! my name is Amaal and i am the CPVMA Delegate for York University In Toronto, Canada! I am a 4th year Biology Honours student hoping to pursue veterinary medicine to specialize in wildlife medicine and possibly oncology. I have primarily worked in emergency veterinary medicine. I am now at the Toronto Wildlife Centre and a barn with equines, since horses are one of my favourite animals! As also a Telus Health veterinary representative, I was the most recent panellist on making veterinary care more accessible and cost-effective. All of my experiences have provided me with useful insights and real-world knowledge in the veterinary field. Being the Co-President & Founder of the YUPV for a second year, my goal has always been to help our pre-vet students connect, gain hands on experiences and grow their knowledge for veterinary medicine. I am very excited to apply this to a nation-wide level and connect pre-veterinary students from all around Canada! Feel free to contact us at prevetclub.yorku@gmail.com or on instagram @yuprevet!

Delegate – Western Pre-Vet Society

Allison Amos

My name is Allison Amos and I am the CPVMA delegate for Western University! I am also the president of the pre-veterinary society at Western University, a varsity athlete on the Western Women's Rugby team, and in my fourth year studying Ecosystem Health. I hope to attend Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph and become a veterinarian that specializes in exotics. As part of the pre-veterinary society, I hope to guide other students on their path to becoming a veterinarian. My goal is to help undergraduates become competitive applicants for veterinary schools, and to learn about how diverse and rewarding a career in veterinary medicine can be. I personally have worked with a wide range of Ontario wildlife and domestic animals during my undergrad at Western, and have been able to see first hand how veterinary medicine can connect both animals and people.

Delegate – Veterinary Medicine Club (UofT)

Liliana Cheung

Hi! My name is Liliana. I am representing UofT's Veterinary Medicine Club (VMC) as a CPVMA delegate for 2025/26. While I am mainly interested in mixed practice, I am hoping I will also have opportunities to explore exotics, ophthalmology, and wildlife conservation. What inspires me most are the initiatives for equitable access to care, as well as veterinary contributions to environmental sustainability. Other than that, I love to read, try out new food/cafes/recipes, and go skiing in my free time! VMC's executive team and I are so excited for this opportunity to collaborate with the CPVMA. We believe this new relationship will support, encourage, and connect our community of pre-vet students. If you are interested in learning more about VMC or have any specific questions, feel free to reach out to us by email (vmc@studentorg.utoronto.ca) or Instagram (@vmc_uoft).
