Farming Forward - Director - Val Beauliua
Val Beauliua, RVT
A farm girl from Manitoba, Val made the likely transition after the completion of the Fairview College Animal Health Technology course, to practice in a mixed animal veterinary clinic. After more than 20 years working in a mixed animal practice, in 2024 when she decided it was time to put her skills and knowledge into the creation of her own practice: MorEnergy Veterinary Services Ltd in Onoway, Ab. Within the practice, Val loves the diversity, continual learning, the fast work pace, but her heart lies with the large animals.
While still in clinical practice, starting in 2005, she had the privilege of instructing Veterinary Medical Receptionist and Animal Health Technologists programs and worked for the three of the Canadian Veterinary Medical Associations accredited Animal Health Technologist colleges in Alberta. When at Lakeland College she prepared course content and instructed the first Veterinary Medical Receptionist program out of Sherwood Park. At Olds College, she was one of the initial instructors who helped setup, provide course content and instructed the Online Animal Health Technology program and instructed the Veterinary Medical Receptionists and Animal Health Technologist students on site. Again at the Northern Institute for Technologist (NAIT) Val has instructed the Veterinary Medical Receptionists, the Animal Health Technologists and was a key provider for the content and set up for the first Production Animal Ultrasound Pregnancy Detection Course which is now offered through Lakeland and Olds College.
Aside from her work at MorEnergy Veterinary Services, Val does contract porcine work, is currently teaching courses for the Veterinary Practice Management Certificate Online Course for Olds College, and sits on the Farming Forward Association as a board member.
One of Val’s career highlights was being honoured the recipient of the Canadian Animal Health Technologist of the Year Award in 2014.
Besides continuing to invest her time and skill in the veterinary industry, Val along with her husband Devin and her two sons Brock and Bennett also spend time, traveling to hockey games, riding horses and raising purebred and cross bred Gelbvieh cattle on their family ranch near Rich Valley.
