AVH acknowledges that we are located on the traditional land of the Yellowknives Dene First Nation. We respect the histories, languages, and cultures of all other Indigenous Peoples including the North Slave Métis, and all First Nations, Métis, and Inuit whose presence continues to enrich our vibrant community.

AHV is a safe and welcoming space for all people and their pets. We aim to promote a supportive environment where people feel comfortable expressing themselves without fear of judgment or discrimination.
