Animal Health Canada Announces Updated Canadian Livestock Transport Training Program for Livestock Transporters

June 1, 2023

Animal Health Canada (AHC) announced a significant update to its Canadian Livestock Transport (“CLT”) certification program, a comprehensive training course for livestock and poultry transporters, shippers and receivers. Enrolment is open now on its newly launched e-learning platform at campus.animalhealthcanada.ca.

Recognized across Canada and the United States, CLT is an easily accessible, standardized online program offering humane animal transportation certification. The update, based on the most recent regulations, revamped the core training materials to make the training program more engaging and user-friendly.

Simultaneously, AHC is launching an awareness campaign named ‘Better Safer Canadian’. The campaign includes a new wordmark in English, French and Spanish, video and other resources aimed at stakeholders in animal transport, underlining the importance of CLT certification.

The Better Safer Canadian campaign focuses on three key messages:1. The new CLT program delivers a better multimedia experience accessible 24-7. You can get certified using your smartphone, tablet or computer.2. Training is also key to safety and CLT training helps both you and the animals.3. CLT is the only program based on Canadian regulations and is valid in the US.

Additionally, the new e-learning platform now features a validation tool to verify CLT certification.

The project was funded in part by the Government of Canada under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership’s AgriAssurance Program.
