2025 Recipients
Dr. Al Longair graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 1977 and began his career in mixed animal practice in Duncan, B.C. By 1981, he shifted his focus exclusively to small animals.
He volunteered with the BC SPCA for more than two decades, serving 12 years as president of his local branch and 10 years on the provincial management committee, including four as president. In the early 1990s, he chaired the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association’s Animal Welfare Committee.
In 2001, Dr. Longair was one of six independent veterinarians selected by the International Fund for Animal Welfare to serve as a licensed observer of the Canadian seal hunt, offering recommendations and insights on animal welfare.
He fondly remembers two of his most unusual patients – a rattlesnake and a black moccasin – both of which he had to de-venomize.
Dr. Longair was instrumental in developing the Society of BC Veterinarians, serving three years as president during a pivotal time when the organization successfully advocated for a doubling of WCVM seats for B.C. students.
He lives on a small acreage with his wife, horses, dogs and cats. He has coached youth soccer for 25 years and has curled with the same team for the past 20 years.
After graduating in 1986, Dr. Kelly Butler began her career with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, ensuring the humane treatment and health of livestock in sales facilities. An opportunity to purchase a small animal practice led her to split her time between clinical work and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), where her research traced the source of pentachlorophenol in pork – preserving Canada’s export markets and enhancing food safety.
Following a cancer diagnosis, she transitioned to public health, where she led the successful implementation of an international quality management system at the public health lab in Winnipeg.
Dr. Butler was later hired by the World Health Organization to manage the polio and measles laboratory network in the Western Pacific Region. As a side project, she investigated a malfunctioning malaria antibody test and traced the issue to production and delivery problems – work that helped ensure its ongoing global use.
After returning to Canada, she began locum work and ultimately opened a small animal hospital in Vanier, Ont., with a strong focus on preventive care and support for the Community Veterinary Outreach program. Her wide-ranging career journey speaks to the depth and versatility of veterinary training.

Advice to veterinary students:
Veterinary medicine is a deeply fulfilling career; every day you have a chance to relieve suffering, strengthen the human-animal bond and make a real difference in the world. Medicine is constantly evolving, and you are not meant to leave veterinary school knowing everything. Learning never truly ends in this profession, and that lifelong curiosity is what keeps you growing, adaptable and compassionate. Mistakes will happen, and some of the most valuable lessons come from reflecting on them and using them as an opportunity for improvement. Forgive yourself when things do not go as planned. Finally, just as you care for your patients, remember to care for yourself as well. Do not lose sight of the people, experiences and hobbies, outside of medicine, which help to refresh and relax you.
Dr. Marion Desmarchelier graduated from the National Veterinary School of Lyon in 2003. She first practiced in mixed practice, then in small animal and exotic companion practice.

In 2013, after 4 years as a professor on Prince Edward Island, she returned to Quebec and undertook a residency in animal behaviour medicine at the FMV.

Advice to veterinary students:
Our oath is to do no harm—not to do everything perfectly. You can accomplish far more good than harm by showing up and trying to help your patients. And remember: all bleeding stops…eventually; finding the uterus is often the hardest part; and surgery—as with most aspects of veterinary medicine—is a team sport.
Dr. Catherine Wagg graduated with a DVM from the Atlantic Veterinary College in 1998. After several years in small animal practice, she changed direction and entered a clinical pathology residency program at the Faculté de médecine vétérinaire, Université de Montréal.
