National Wildlife Centre: Wildlife, People, and Nature – a One Health Approach

Dr. Sherri Cox has been working with wildlife for more than 20 years. She is a wildlife veterinarian and the medical director of the National Wildlife Centre Canada, where she regularly provides diagnosis, treatment, and surgical intervention for thousands of sick and injured wildlife across the country. Sherri also teaches chemical immobilization to the provincial governmental authorities and teaches courses in wildlife rehabilitation at the University of Guelph. As a board-certified specialist (ABVP, Avian), she and her medical team provide medical oversight for wildlife patients at four wildlife rehabilitation centres in Canada.  Sherri holds a PhD from the University of Guelph where her research is focused on lead toxicosis in free-ranging trumpeter swans in Ontario, Canada.

Her talk will focus on information about the National Wildlife Centre and their exciting project to build a wildlife hospital and education centre in the GTA.
