Madison Logan

My name is Madison Logan. I grew up in Whitehorse, Yukon, which cultivated a passion for wildlife and environmental stewardship. My interests led me to pursue a degree in veterinary medicine at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. I graduated from vet school in 2021, and after a few northern and Saskatchewan winters, I made the move to Vancouver Island. I spent 2.5 years working in small animal practice before embarking on a new adventure in the aquaculture sector in 2023. Throughout my career, I have developed a strong interest in animal welfare, herd health and disease management. Working in the aquaculture sector has provided me with a unique experience as a veterinarian. As fish health experts in the industry, our team follows populations of fish from egg to harvest while closely monitoring fish health status throughout their lifecycle. Most people do not expect me to say “fish vet” when asked what I do for work. I often explain that it really isn’t different from working with dogs and cats — I screen for health concerns, diagnose and make treatment decisions.
