A Vision Rooted in Generosity
The Dr. Etienne Côté Endowed Chair in Veterinary Cardiology was established through a transformational $3 million gift from Sandra and Sarah Irving, The Arthur and Sandra Irving Foundation, and the Arthur L. Irving Family Foundation.
Their generosity reflects a shared belief in the power of education, innovation, and compassionate care. Through this visionary investment, the Chair strengthens Atlantic Canada’s capacity to educate veterinary professionals, advance cardiovascular medicine, and prepare future leaders in animal health.
The endowment was created with a “dream big” philosophy: to support bold ideas, pioneer new approaches, and create opportunities that would otherwise not be possible.
