Should you have an idea or are a volunteer for a local community or charity, please email us and let's work together to create some more fun filled activities together.

We participate in many activities throughout the year and seek to be more involved in the coming years. Some events to mention are:

3rd annual Alta Vista Winterlude Triathlon

This year, Alta Vista took part in the fun for the 3rd straight year. At 6:45am on Saturday February 6th, 24 hearty staff from the hospital (including veterinarians, technicians, receptionists, vet assistants and clinic owners) braved a freezing cold winter day on the canal. We entered 8 teams of 3 people, the largest showing of any business in Ottawa by far. Many other staff, family and friends came out to cheer us on.

The Wiggle Waggle Walkathon - Humane Society

Our Alta Vista and Bayview Animal Hospital teams raised over $15,000 in donations towards the $195,000 total raised at this year's Wiggle Waggle Walkathon. It was quite the event and the team was there in full spirits. We also participated with our very own FREE Doggy Photo Booth to snap a shot of the participants, guests and their pets.

The Parliament Hill Cats - Documentary and Vaccinations

A team from the Alta Vista Animal Hospital set their sights on vaccinating the Cats at Parliament Hill that live at the infamous cat sanctuary. This is a yearly effort led by Lara Jamieson and team. This year was also filmed by Bountiful Films who are creating a documentary on Cat Colonies around the world. The show will air in the spring on CBC with a small feature on Dr Lara Jamieson.

Upper Hunt Club Community Association - Fall Festival

We also attended the annual Upper Hunt Club Association Fall Festival. This activity was targeted to the children in the community who watched in amazement as our very own Natalie Charlebois and furry pal Caleb showed off their amazing talents and tricks. Dr Krista Gower was the judge for the Pet Costume contest which was an entertaining event! We are always seeking to get more involved in the Community.
