Mary Lynn Lackie

Mary Lynn Lackie has had a love for anything to do with animals from a very young age. Being raised on a mixed family farm in Eastern Ontario provided plenty of opportunity to care for animals and solidified her desire to become a veterinarian. Every occasion to work with and learn about veterinary medicine was taken during these early years and therefore it was a natural progression to graduate from the Ontario Veterinary College in Guelph in 1996.

Mary Lynn returned to Eastern Ontario and for the first 5 years of her career, practiced small animal emergency medicine and mixed animal practice. She also took the opportunity to work in both England and Wales before settling into her long term position at Village Veterinary Clinic in Russell, in 2001. During her time as an associate veterinarian, she has completed over a dozen diagnostic ultrasound courses. This has allowed her to develop a special interest in abdominal ultrasound techniques and diagnostic fine needle aspiration. She continues to perform routine and non-routine soft tissue surgery on a regular basis. She has successfully completed several canine and feline dentistry continuing education courses, remaining up to date on important dental health and surgery.

She aspires to continue to provide veterinary care that exceeds expectations for her clients. What keeps her love for veterinary medicine alive after all these years, is developing relationships with clients and their furry companions.

When not at Village Veterinary Clinic, you can find her enjoying time with her family, at their cottage or on their farm. She resides in Russell with her husband, Brian, their 2 daughters, Amelie and Paige, their Golden Retriever, Maddie and their two cats, Gem and Sassy. Mary Lynn enjoys volunteering as a trainer on her daughter's hockey team, and travelling.
