The Community Veterinary Outreach (CVO) program and the City of Ottawa By-law and Regulatory Services' Spay/Neuter Clinic was presented yesterday with the 2013 Community Collaboration Summit Award. 

Sponsored by the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association, this Summit Award recognizes programs, codes of conduct or best practices delivered to create a healthier environment for urban animals. 

The CVO and Ottawa By-law services were nominated by their industry peers to receive this award for their efforts to integrate veterinary care into the community, in particular, to animals of the homeless, at risk of becoming homeless or marginally housed.
