I was at a Pet Trust forum for university of Guelph and was handed
a card for this conference, which I think many on the list will be
interested in. I was told experts from across north america, including
those involve in Katrina and other disasters will be on hand. I am
not planning to attend, but if any body from organizations such as
f.e.r.r.e.t. is planning to go, I may be able to house one or two
people and help with airport pick up. I hope some one can go.

p.s. Pet trust is raising funds to open a cancer research centre for
animals. you may want to check them out. Pet trust is the fundraising
branch of the ontario veterinary college. a lot of research in
veterinary medicine is supported by private donations, as government
fund is very limited for these areas.
