Meadow Lake residents react to Woodland Veterinary Clinic June closure
The days are numbered for the Woodland Veterinary Clinic and pet owners in Meadow Lake are left with thoughts of appreciation for years of service mixed with uncertainty for the future.
The announcement of the decision for the clinic – headed up by Drs., Dick and Wendy Nitschelm – to close permanently for retirement in June was made on social media last week and according to Mayor Merlin Seymour, while it will leave a void, the city is looking to the future.
“Hopefully it’ll be an opportunity for possibly a new veterinarian to set up shop in Meadow Lake,” he said.
Seymour explained that while they have another clinic in town, the area does draw a lot of patients and another clinic would be welcome.
