DR. Lukas Gerdes - Veterianrian
Lukas grew up in Rinteln Germany. After highschool graduation he made a trip to Canada. While visiting Quesnel he had the opportunity to work with rescued animals. He knew he wanted to make the care & well-being of animals his life’s work, and with this as his goal, he returned to Europe to study veterinary medicine. In 2023 Lukas graduated from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, at the Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences in Poland.
His trip to Quesnel was also the source of another love in his life - his wife Robin and their son Finn. After years commuting between Europe and Canada while completing his education, Lukas is now settled with his family in Quesnel. Their little farm is home to Lukas & Robin, along with Finn and his older step-siblings Elijah and Yarah, and variety of beloved critters (equine, ovine, bovine, canine, feline, and all manner of fowl - both land and water)! Lukas thoroughly enjoys all the daily chores farm life brings, and still makes time to read, ride his horse Walter, and especially, go fishing with Finn.
