You are invited to a public meeting sponsored by the VIDO-InterVac Community Liaison Committee (CLC). InterVac is a bio-containment Level 3 (CL3) facility where scientists focus on research and testing of vaccines for dieseases that impact both animals and humans. The term “CL3” describes the safety measures and equipment within the facility that ensure the safety of employees and the community.
The CLC is a diverse group of Saskatoon citizens including experts in emergency measures, veterinary medicine and public health as well as citizens at large. The independent committee was established by the University of Saskatchewan to ensure that communication on safety issues related to InterVac is open and transparent. The CLC continuously seeks related information on activities of community concern.
Guest speaker will be internationally recognized Dr. Andrew Potter. Dr Potter is the current Director & CEO of VIDO-InterVac. He will present a report on the world-wide reach of the facility and scientists as well as the new on-site vaccine manufacturing facility.
