Having been with Clearwater Veterinary Centre since 1999, Maryon is considered to be the rock of the practice. She is steadfast and calm no matter how hectic the practice gets.

Maryon graduated from NAIT in 1983 with her Diploma in Animal Health Technology.

Gale
Gale grew up on a mixed farm in a small town in Saskatchewan. Grain farming wasn't her passion, but the animals certainly were. She was horse crazy and that led her to a diploma in Western Horsemanship. She has been working at CWVC since 1993, which makes her feel a little "long in the tooth" but she still loves her job and looks forward to each day! She says her co-workers and our amazing clients make this place feel like home and she loves the variety that each day brings. She lives on an acreage with her wonderful family and their furry friends. She has 2 horses, a Border Collie, a Rex bunny and 2 cats (from ROAR of course!). She enjoys horseback riding, hiking, biking and pretty much anything outdoors in our beautiful west country.

She then joined the Clearwater Vet team in January of 2018 and has loved working here ever since!
