CCAC Virtual Learning Series 2025-2026

Join the Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC) for the first webinar of the 2025-2026 virtual learning series! In this session, we will explore the animal welfare assessment program in depth, offering insights and guidance to support the ethical care and use of animals in research, teaching, and testing.

Making the Most of Your Animal Welfare Assessment Data – cost $60 + tax

By now, institutions have implemented their animal welfare assessment programs, whether integrated into daily health checks or conducted regularly based on research activity schedules. But the real question is: what happens next? This session will explore how to effectively translate animal welfare assessment data for the use of the animal care committee and how the committee can, in turn, apply that information to strengthen its institutional animal care and use program. Learn how to interpret and present data in ways that identify opportunities to refine protocols, enhance decision-making, and improve animal welfare outcomes.

Don’t forget to add the CCAC National Workshop to your calendar and join us for engaging presentations focused on the ethical care and use of animals in science at the CCAC’s half-day virtual National Workshop. Our keynote speaker, Dr. Alexandra Whittaker from the University of Adelaide, will present “One Welfare in the Lab: Integrating Human, Animal, and Environmental Wellbeing in Research Settings”. This session will explore how the One Welfare framework can be meaningfully applied to the care and use of research laboratory animals and share practical strategies for embedding these principles into ethical review processes, facility design, and researcher support. This virtual event will also include sessions on CCAC guidelines and animal welfare assessment for specific species.
