The veterinary college was located in [[Oka, Quebec]] before moving to Saint-Hyacinthe in 1947. In Oka, the veterinary college formed part of an agricultural-veterinary educational centre operated by the Trappists. This centre was financed by the [[Quebec Department of Agriculture]].<ref name=autogenerated1 />
The Centre became the direct responsibility of the Québec Department of Agriculture from 1947 to 1969. In 1969, the Centre became a [[Université de Montréal]] faculty. Considerable development in staff and facilities has taken place.<ref name=autogenerated1 />
