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. She hails from Rocky and says she didn't choose a career in veterinary medicine - it chose her because it was such a natural fit. Maryon graduated from NAIT in 1983 with her Diploma in Animal Health Technology. Maryon is a past board member of Alberta Association of Animal Health Technologists and past vice president of Canadian Association of AHT's. She has also been the recipient of the AAAHT recognition award twice, a NAIT alumni award and was named AHT of the Year by CAAHT.

In her free time, Maryon enjoys hiking out west, cross country skiing and spending time with her family.

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.

Amanda
Amanda grew up on a mixed farm in southern Alberta where her family ran a cheese production factory. Graduating from Olds College with a diploma in Agriculture Production, she spent 6 years working at a bovine artificial insemination facility as a laboratory technician. Deciding to follow her love of medicine, she joined a very busy small animal veterinary practice for 6 years where she became passionate about surgery, post-surgical patient care/rehab and new puppy education. She then joined the Clearwater Vet team in January of 2018 and has loved working here ever since!

In her spare time, she enjoys being outdoors taking photos, riding/working with young horses, training her blue heeler and standard poodle dogs for obedience and pet therapy.
