Jan 10-11, 2026 - An Event for Vet Students and Vet Tech Students

01/12/2026

This year's Spotlight event is in the books, and we've already had some outstanding feedback. Its such a great networking opportunity for both the students and the veterinarians and techs attending - how great is it that we get to spend the weekend talking about what we love about our careers? I would love it if everyone would share photos in the comments - let's see what your favorite parts were!

The first day of the 2026 edition of Spotlight: Equine Vet Practice in Canada was a success - we have 34 vet practices and 26 industry sponsors involved this year in making it happen this weekend for 30 veterinary students and 30 vet tech students from across the country. We are inspired by the students and loving the collaboration between everyone involved. Looking forward to tomorrow!

Thank you to our volunteers! The hours they have put in leading up to this event, and the hours they will log over the weekend is quite impressive. All presenters, lab instructors, barn help and anyone else you see running around keeping things moving, are all volunteering their time. This allows us to use all sponsorship dollars to provide veterinary and technician students with an unmatched education and networking event for very little out of pocket expense ( all travel, accommodations, lunch both days and supper on Saturday is covered by sponsorship dollars).

Did You Know || Major student costs of attending Spotlight are covered by sponsorship dollars - flights, mileage, hotels, lunch both days and supper on Saturday night. In addition to monetary sponsorship, we have companies sponsoring lab supplies, and demonstration horses. All veterinarians and registered technicians attending have volunteered to present and teach the lab sections.

We’re in the final stretch of behind-the-scenes planning for Spotlight 2026, and the excitement is building. Soon, we’ll be welcoming 30 veterinary students and 30 technician students to Burwash Equine Services for a weekend dedicated to hands-on learning, collaboration, and connecting with the future of equine practice in Canada.
Thanks to our incredible sponsors, student expenses for the weekend are covered—a commitment that ensures access, opportunity, and meaningful growth for the next generation.
If you’ve been considering getting involved, now is the perfect time.
Sponsorship opportunities are still open, and your support directly helps make this experience possible.
Reach out to learn how you can be part of this incredible weekend.
