OKOTOKS, AB, Jan. 19, 2016 /CNW/ - Equi-Health Canada sends its deepest sympathies to all livestock owners who have been struck by tragedy in the many recent barn fires. EHC has developed a full day training course in Emergency Preparations & Disaster Planning, and in response to these recent tragedies, Equi-Health Canada will be fast tracking this training course for early release.
