8.7 tonnes of food saved, 20,821 meals shared, and the power of purpose in action! That’s ! 💚🍞

Recently, Brianna returned from an inspiring Mars, Incorporated Ambassador Program (MAP) assignment in Dublin, Ireland, teaming up with FoodCloud to tackle food waste and support local communities.

In just one week and across 92 volunteer hours, Brianna and her team of five MAP Ambassadors rolled up their sleeves to make a tangible difference:
✨ 8.7 tonnes of food rescued
✨ 20.1 tonnes of emissions avoided
✨ 20,821 nutritious meals provided to charitable partners across Ireland

Reflecting on her time in Dublin, Brianna shared:

"My experience with FoodCloud in Dublin showed me how even a small group of people can make a meaningful difference when they come together with a shared purpose.

So far, FoodCloud has redistributed over 27,000 kg of Mars food and product, which makes me even prouder to be a MAP Ambassador and, more importantly, a and Mars Associate. I will never forget this experience, the people I met, or the incredible hosts who welcomed us and shared their time and stories with us." 🍀 🇮🇪

Brianna, thank you for representing our values with so much compassion, heart, and dedication. We’re endlessly proud of the difference you’ve made alongside FoodCloud, and we’re so happy to welcome you back home! 💙

September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day.

Today, we reflect on the legacy of residential schools, honouring survivors, the children who never returned home, and the communities impacted by intergenerational trauma.

In many Indigenous cultures, animals are seen as teachers, protectors, and part of the sacred balance with the land. As veterinary professionals, reflecting on this reminds us that our work is about more than clinical care. It means honouring these values with humility, respect, and cultural understanding.

Being part of the communities we serve means recognizing the shared responsibility we have in reconciliation. It is a day to listen to Indigenous voices, reflect on the painful truths of Canadian history, and commit to continuous learning and understanding, not just today, but throughout the year.

We encourage our team members, clients, and community to take time today to reflect, learn, and engage with the stories and experiences shared by survivors.

Every Child Matters. 🧡

Support is available 24/7 for Survivors and their families through the National Indian Residential School Crisis Line at 1-866-925-4419.

15 surgeries, one unforgettable mission, and the power of compassionate vet care in action! That's !

Through the Mars, Incorporated Ambassador Program (MAP), our Associates have the incredible opportunity to share their skills, support partner organizations, and drive positive change worldwide.

One of our own from VCA Canada Cats Only Animal Hospital recently returned from an unforgettable assignment in India working alongside Humane World for Animals and their mobile clinic team.

The true highlight of Katy's journey came on a day they completed around 15 sterilizations. She recalls standing alongside the local veterinary team, tired but energized, and it hit home just how lasting and profound this work is for the local community and the health of these animals.

"Being part of a team working shoulder to shoulder toward such a vital mission was a powerful reminder of why we do what we do.

And of course, getting to end each full day by exploring the incredible, vibrant flavours of authentic Indian food was the perfect bonus to an unforgettable assignment.

I’m returning home inspired, grateful, and prouder than ever to be part of a community that champions a better world for pets everywhere." 🌍✨

Katy, we are endlessly grateful for your dedication, your compassion, and the incredible energy you bring to everything you do, whether across the globe in Hubli-Dharwad or right here with us every day. Thank you for representing our values with such heart and purpose. We are so proud of the lasting impact you’ve made, and we’re even happier to have you back home with the Cats Only team! 💙

Taking and compassionate care 12,000 km across the globe. 🌍🚐

On any typical week, you’ll find Veterinarian Dr. Charles Carrier in the clinic at Vet et Nous diagnosing complex cases, while Katy Lyons balances her days as both a Registered Veterinary Technician and Hospital Manager at our very own VCA Canada Cats Only Animal Hospital. But this month, their routines are shifting across the world.

Through the Mars, Incorporated Ambassador Program (MAP), the two are packing their bags and heading to Hubli-Dharwad, India, to lend their hands to a different kind of community care.

From September 7–16, Charles and Katy are teaming up with Humane World for Animals. They’ll be stepping out of traditional hospital settings and onto the front lines of a mobile animal clinic, providing field-based treatment, essential vaccinations, and preventive healthcare directly to rural and underserved communities.

Between Charles’ clinical diagnostic experience and Katy’s dual perspective as a technician and hospital leader, they bring a comprehensive skill set to this mission. Stepping into mobile fieldwork allows them to translate those high-level hospital standards into high-impact community care and deliver vital treatments in resource-limited environments and empowering local volunteers with sustainable animal healthcare practices.

Their commitment to sharing knowledge, supporting local caregivers, and advocating for vulnerable animals reflects the very best of our veterinary community. 💙

💬 Please join us in sending safe travels and warm wishes to Charles and Katy as they prepare for this incredible journey! Stay tuned right here for photos and stories from the field.
