i've only heard of veterinary social work in the US and beyond, but havent seen or heard of anything in canada. could anyone tell me more about this? or even better, if they know of anyone thats in this field?
hello, i'm a grade 12 student from victoria, bc looking to go to wilfrid laurier university for social work! i've been accepted and have already commited as this is an amazing program and very competitive and many students "suffer" through the campus/city because of how good the education is, however...i'd like to truly understand how unsafe/dangerous brantford is.
is the hate towards brantford understandable or is it just dramaticized? will be hate crimed as someone of a minority (both black and a muslim who wears a headscarf)? how is the situation downtown?
please let me know, i would deeply appreciate it!
to preface : i live in victoria bc at the moment and i want to go into international development + social work + law later on. (so will most likely be going into a masters of social work then law school)
