🐾 Meet of Vet et Nous | Myriam: Big Hearts, Small Footprints 🐾

Working in a high-volume emergency and specialty hospital comes with the reality of waste. Patient care relies heavily on single-use items, sterile packaging, and substantial resources. And while the scale of waste in clinical settings can feel discouraging, Myriam Doré, a Team Leader and Animal Health Technician (TSA) at Centres Vétérinaires - Laval, Montréal, Rive-Sud, focuses on practical, attainable solutions within the team’s direct control.

Many people look at the climate crisis and think, “I’m just one person, what difference can I make?”

Myriam chose a different answer: start small, right where you stand.

"I think if we just pause and look around us, we’d realize we can all do a little more for the environment," Myriam shares. "Whether at home or at the clinic, we all share an ecological responsibility. People often assume living sustainably is intimidating or complicated, but it really looks harder than it actually is."

Instead of waiting for an overnight revolution, Myriam began weaving gentle, daily habits into the culture of Rive-Sud. One thoughtful choice at a time, she turned small intentions into everyday realities:

♻️ Reclaiming worn blankets and towels that still have plenty of warmth to give.
📦 Sorting and rerouting surplus supplies and pet food directly to local rescue organizations where resources are stretched thin.
👕 Building a reused uniform closet within the hospital so quality scrubs find a second, third, and fourth life instead of ending up in a landfill.

Her team will tell you that Myriam never lectures; she leads by example. Her quiet optimism is infectious, showing everyone around her that eco-conscious care isn't about being perfectly zero-waste; it’s about doing what you can with what you have, every single day.

"Small daily gestures, repeated consistently, create real ripples for our planet and the generations coming after us. Caring for the earth isn't extra work, it's just another way of caring for the animals we love."

Drop a 💙 in the comments to show Myriam some love for inspiring us to tread a little lighter and love a little deeper!

Anatomically accurate? Debatable. Spiritually accurate? Absolutely.
