Thank you for Joining us for Canada's First Conference Bridging Animal, Environmental, and Human Health and Well-Being

The inaugural One Health, One Welfare Conference, hosted by Humane Canada, brought together a diverse and passionate community of experts, professionals, and advocates to explore the vital interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health and well-being.

Over two impactful days in Ottawa, the conference sparked powerful conversations and fostered interdisciplinary collaboration aimed at addressing today’s most complex global challenges. Grounded in the One Health approach -balancing the health of people, animals, and ecosystems - and the One Welfare framework - highlighting the links between animal welfare, human well-being, and the environment - this groundbreaking event set the stage for meaningful change.

We’re incredibly grateful to the attendees, speakers, team members, sponsors, volunteers, and the programming committee who made this conference possible. Your contributions helped ignite new ideas, build critical partnerships, and lay the foundation for future action.
