Wat Prince Veterinary Clinic.

Island-wide veterinary service was established in the 1950’s - through the combined efforts of Lincoln Dewar, Secretary of the Federation of Agriculture, and George Bishop, Department of Agriculture. For the first time, a qualified veterinarian was located in O’Leary to serve the people of West Prince area. Some of the first vet- erinarians stationed here were Hilton Curry, Rock Venne, Louis Fourges, Donald Landry, and Larry Ford.

On September 16, 1977, a modern veterinary clinic was built on the Barclay Road adjacent to the Provincial Services Centre. It was officially opened by Dr. Bud lngs, DVM, Minister of Agriculture. This much needed clinical facility provides not only better working con- ditions for doctors but also accommodation and better care for the animals. Veterinarians joining Dr. Gary Morgan in the clinic includ- ed Bob Morrison, Glen Gifford, Stewart Walker, David Douglas, David Campbell, and Kim Knight-Picketts. The present doctors (1992) at the clinic are Drs. Gary Moran, Daniel Dalton and Greg Keefe; staff members are Geraldine Harris, Joan Gardiner, Joanne 'l‘uplin and Delores Blanchard.
