Angela from British Columbia, Canada brought some laughs (and talent!) to The Bandy Awards with her Halloween and Thanksgiving-themed creations.

Bandage art like this is such a beautiful reflection of what makes veterinary medicine special. It’s creativity. It’s connection. It’s finding moments of joy for our teams and clients, during stressful situations.

Creativity isn’t just about art, it’s about wellbeing.

Tune in as one of our judges, veterinarian, emergency and critical care specialist, thought leader, author, and founder of Reviving Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Marie Holowaychuk highlights the connection between creativity and wellness in the veterinary profession.

While she was especially drawn to the detail and colours in Kendra’s Fairy bandage, it was clear to her that each finalist (Kendra, Tracy, Lauren & Mikayla) cares deeply about their work and wants to demonstrate that care to both their patients and their families.
