The government of Saskatchewan announced that it will invest $100,000 into a workforce study to determine veterinary labour market needs amidst a province-wide veterinarian shortage.“Recruitment and retention of veterinary professionals is important for every animal owner and producer in the province,” Agriculture Minister David Marit said in a statement.
