Government of Canada: Reducing the risk of African swine fever

The Government of Canada is taking a collaborative approach to prevent the entry of African swine fever (ASF) to Canada by:

  • sharing information across government and industry
  • supporting organizations in their work
  • focussing on preventative action and a strong response, should ASF enter Canada

Refer to our frequently asked questions about ASF to inform yourself about this animal disease.

Awareness toolkit

Everyone has a role to play in reducing the risk of animal diseases. Do your part by sharing this toolkit with your network. You'll find helpful videos, fact sheets, posters and images to help spread the word, not the animal disease.
