2024 Virtual Learning Series
Effective training for all personnel involved in animal-based science is an essential component of any institutional animal care and use program. To support this, the Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC) is introducing a virtual learning series, aimed at improving the ethical care and use of animals in Canadian science. These sessions will bring together program participants within CCAC-certified institutions to discuss best practices and address the challenges associated with the implementation of CCAC guidelines and policies.
Animal Welfare Assessment – Cost $60 + tax
The CCAC guidelines: Animal welfare assessment was developed based on the recognition that animals used for scientific purposes should have good welfare, which is characterized by maximizing animals’ positive experiences while minimizing their negative ones. This approach to ensuring good welfare is already at the core of many existing practices including formal welfare assessments. This session will explore the details of the 2021 guidelines and discuss the implementation of animal welfare assessment in research, teaching, and testing. This will be followed by a general discussion and Q&A.
