From Monday, November 16 to Friday, November 20, the Bachelor of Bio-Resource Management students majoring in Equine management will host the symposium online, via Zoom from 7:00pm to 8:30pm EST each evening.
The theme of this year’s symposium is RESILIENCE: Rethinking, Restructuring, Re-evaluating due to COVID-19 and will feature many prominent individuals involved in the equine industry including Executive Director, Ontario Racing, Jonathan Zammit (Mon.

The symposium is free for anyone connected to the horse racing or the equine industries; however pre-registration is required and can be completed here.
