Brianne- Client Care Specialist
I recently moved to Wyevale from Barrie and am very much enjoying the change of pace! With over 6 years’ experience at an emergency animal hospital it has been so lovely to slow down a little bit and get to connect with all of Georgian Bay’s sweet, furry family members.
I currently reside in Wyevale with my partner Ryan and our two dogs Frankie and Wendel, and our lovely cat Margaret. We love exploring the trails and beaches in Tiny in our spare time. I have an affinity for all dogs senior, small and scruffy and have rescued three of my own over the years. I hope to be able to help many more.
Can’t wait to meet all of you!

Cassidy - Veterinary Assistant
During the summer of 2023, I moved to Victoria Harbour from a small town in the Niagara area and instantly loved my new surroundings. Before working in the veterinary field, I was working as a Registered Early Childhood Educator for 6 years where I put my experience and passion for educating into the minds of our next generation to use.
During the pandemic, I went out of my comfort zone and decided to enroll in online schooling through Durham College to become a Veterinary Assistant and fulfill my other passion in life... Animals. At home I have two fur babies, Mickey and Judge. They are full of energy and love to play outside and swim in the lake.
In my spare time, I like to watch movies, go to local farms (slight cow obsession), go on mini adventures outdoors, and spend time with friends and family.
I'm excited to be a part of the Georgian Bay Veterinary Hospital family and I look forward to working with the community and caring for their pets.

Courtney - BSc, CCRP, Registered Veterinary Technician
I have been with the Georgian Bay Veterinary Hospital team since the Spring of 2011. I graduated from Georgian College's Veterinary Technician program with Honours in 2015, and have loved every minute of my work since then. I enjoy every aspect of veterinary medicine, and enjoy working to make each pets hospital experience as individual as possible. I completed my Certification for Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner in 2023, and look forward to offer those skills to the area.
I grew up in this beautiful cottage country, and could not imagine living or working anywhere else. My husband, Jared, and I have two baby boys, Cameron and Hudson, who are the lights of our world. We also have two spunky black labs, Madeline and Charlotte, an extremely dapper cat, Walter. In my spare time I enjoy spending time at the farm, boating, camping, and spending time with family and friends.
I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies when you come into the clinic.

Jacqueline - BASc, Registered Veterinary Technician
I realized veterinary medicine was my calling during my high school co-op. I graduated from Lakehead University in 2014 with a bachelor of arts and science and graduated from the Georgian College veterinary technician program in 2019. In the summer of 2019 I became a fully registered veterinary technician. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my own animals and doing crafts like crochet and painting.

Kelsey - Veterinary Assistant
Hello! my name is Kelsey Trudeau-Lalonde, born and raised on Georgian bay. I am a graduate of the pre-health program at Georgian College, a busy mom to an awesome little guy, a loving german shepherd Skylar, a goofy rough collie/lab mix Gus and a fluffy little lion head named Rory.
You can catch me by the water, on the trails or cuddled up with my babies and a good book or a movie. I got my first taste of true animal care work at the O.S.P.C.A 11 years ago where my hunger to help as many animals as possible really grew. With the support and guidance of my wonderful co-workers, my goal is to become a registered veterinary technician some day soon. Until then, I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members and being a part of such a great team.

Tara - Registered Veterinary Technologist
Hello Everyone my name is Tara. The human-animal bond has been an integral part of my life from a very early age. My love of animals and the desire to care for them led me to the guidance counsellor’s office on my very first day of high school to compile a list of Colleges that offered the Veterinary Technician program. I graduated with honors from St Lawrence College in 1998 and have been passionate about the profession ever since. Today I am a proud Registered Veterinary Technologist of 25 years.
I’ve been with the Georgian Bay Veterinary Hospital Team since the doors opened in 2010. I feel very fortunate to have found a place where I can put my patient’s wellbeing first. Although I am enthusiastic about all aspects of veterinary medicine, I have a keen interest in Anesthesia and Dentistry.
I live in Orillia with my wonderful husband Doug. I have various pursuits outside of veterinary medicine. Hiking, mountain biking, running, cross country skiing, outdoor adventure, travel and spending time with friends and family to name a few. I hope to see you and your beloved pets soon
