Raised on a dairy farm in Chilliwack, Jason received his Bachelor of Science in Agriculture at the University of British Columbia in 1999 and his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Saskatchewan in 2003. After three years spent honing his skills at a progressive dairy practice in Embrun, Ontario, Jason returned home to join Greenbelt Veterinary Services in 2006.

He is still actively involved with the family farm, Brooknook Holsteins, run by his brother Mark and his father John. Jason’s love of farming and the Holstein breed translates well into his everyday work as a veterinarian. His wife Carli is also in small animal veterinary practice in the Fraser Valley.

They have 4 beautiful children: Isaac, Desmond and a set of twins, Alistair and Juliet, who keep Jason running when he’s not busy at work or on the farm.

After a youth (mis)spent exploring a number of work and life experiences, Josh graduated with distinction from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon in 1990. Since that time has been involved exclusively with farm and food animal practice. After an initial two very cold years in practice in Saskatchewan, Josh came west to join GVS as an associate and eventual partner in 1992. Throughout his time in veterinary practice Josh’s focus has been on dairy and swine health and production management.

In the late 1990’s Josh and his family took an extended sabbatical from veterinary profession to explore some of this world via sailboat. At the beginning of 2000, after some fantastic travel experiences, he returned to work at GVS, balancing the week with a contract veterinary position with the Food Safety and Quality Branch of the provincial Ministry of Agriculture, which he continued to blend until 2008. Since that time Josh has focused his attention on production areas integral to animal welfare, food safety, and ultimately farm profitability. In 2017 Josh stopped working on dairy cattle to focus his veterinary time solely on swine production.

Josh is married to Leslie, his wife of 29 years, and they share 3 adult children and 2 grandchildren. Josh’s passion and enthusiasm for veterinary medicine has obviously rubbed off on his children, as 2 of them have chosen to pursue careers in the veterinary profession.

Dr. Danni grew up in Chilliwack and then went to Saskatchewan to complete her DVM from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine. During vet school she took the opportunity to participate in several programs including a dairy program at Cornell University and an equine reproduction rotation in Texas.

After graduating from the WCVM in 2016, Danni completed an internship in large animal theriogenology (reproduction). She practiced large animal medicine and surgery in rural Saskatchewan for 3 more years before moving home to Chilliwack. She enjoys working on dairy and beef cattle, horses, donkeys, sheep, goats, and a bunch more wild and wacky critters.

Dr. Danni’s favourite thing to do is deliver babies of all shapes and sizes. She would do it all day long if she could! She loves it so much that she goes back to Saskatchewan for a couple weeks during calving season each year to help out the busy vets there.

Dr. Danni and her husband are owned by their 3 dogs Lily, Bud, and Turkey, their Belgian draft horse Hal, and their retired Jersey cow Nova.

Annemieka was born and raised on a dairy farm in Chilliwack. She spent her younger years as an active member of 4-H in Chilliwack and Agassiz, and worked her way up to management. She has always enjoyed living an active lifestyle, playing youth soccer for 12 years, and participating in soccer and field hockey in high school. The culmination of her athletic prowess was when she was named strongest middleweight girl at Sardis Secondary in 2010 with an astounding 33 points! She has worked on many dairy farms throughout her life, even spending a year suffering in Bradford, Ontario through the Agriventure Exchange Program. But her heart always remained in the Fraser Valley, and she received the gift of a lifetime when Greenbelt allowed her to come and work for us in the winter of 2017. She is loving every minute of being part of our team, and has progressed up the ladder to become our calf-handling specialist.

A graduate of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 1981, Chris joined Ron McFee and a year later they started Greenbelt Veterinary Services. He provided health and production services to Chilliwack dairy and swine farms from the same practice for 35 years. During the last 9 years his work has been restricted to swine herds. Today he still assists with swine calls on occasion but is primarily involved with disease surveillance for the swine industry in western Canada and nationally. He is the manager of the the Canada-West Swine Health Intelligence Network and the Canadian Swine Health Intelligence Network.

Marty was the director of Embryo Transfer Services and Genomic research for Greenbelt until he retired in 2020. He led research in the application of Genomics in herd management which was the largest project of its type in North America.

Dr. Darrow earned both his Masters of Science and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degrees from the University of California, Davis, and his work in embryo transfer over the past 35 years has carried him around the globe both teaching the technology and carrying out programs.

Returning to North America in 1998 he introduced embryo sexing to the region and has sexed over 20,000 embryos. He served 6 years on the board of the local Multiple Sclerosis Society, five of which as Chairman, enjoys training dogs in agility and now enjoys his time on Vancouver Island.
