Western Canadian Association of Bovine Practitioners Conference 
January 15-17, 2026

The 35th annual conference will be held in Calgary, AB, at the Sheraton Cavalier. This will be a hybrid conference, where attendees can join in person, via live stream or with after session recordings. Check out the conference program here

This year’s conference is particularly meaningful because it is the first time RVTs can be WCABP members and are formally welcomed to attend the conference independently, rather than only through association with a DVM. We’re excited to highlight this milestone and encourage broader engagement within the bovine veterinary community.
