The written policy explicitly prohibiting laboratory animals in the institution’s care from being subjected to severe and unrelieved pain and distress:
Vanier College is certified by the Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC) for the Good Animal Practice® certificate.
An institution's animal ethics and care program is certified every three years based on its compliance with CCAC policies and guidelines and other CCAC-recognized standards.
A CCAC Certificate of GAP – Good Animal Practice® is earned by institutions which:
-participate fully in the CCAC's programs;
-have been evaluated by assessment panels composed of scientists, veterinarians, and community representatives; and
-have been found by the panel and by the CCAC Assessment and Certification Committee to have standards of experimental animal ethics and care which satisfy the CCAC's guidelines and policies.
