Travel-Health Certificate, etc

We live within 10-15 minutes of one of the world’s most modern and attractive international airports. 10 minutes from our hospital are not only beautiful walks beside the Fraser River and the Pacific ocean with views of the islands and snow-capped mountains but the new Olympic skating Oval, the BC Institute of Technology’s new college building and the sinusoidal track of SkyTrain’s rapid transit system.

Travel is a feature of life for pets and people.
