Ontario Racing is inviting racing participants to apply as a volunteer member to its new Equine Health and Welfare Advisory Council.
The mandate of the Equine Health and Welfare Advisory Council is to advise the Ontario Racing Board on best practices, research, initiatives, and programs regarding all matters as they relate to the welfare of the racehorse, including establishing general guidance on, and standards for, the care and safety of horses, both during and after their racing careers.
Those who are either practicing equine veterinarians, trainers of Thoroughbreds, Standardbreds and Quarter Horses, or those with expertise in health and safety at racetracks, are especially encouraged to apply.
Interested individuals should apply by letter of interest to Gavin Van Elsberg at [email protected].
