It was a smaller group on May 11 for Walk With Your Doc in Kamloops, and we had a great time walking in the sunshine to promote exercise in the community. Thanks to all who came out.

Every year in May, doctors across BC host walking events in their communities to provide a fun and straightforward way for patients and community members to get moving and discuss the advantages of daily physical activity in a relaxed, social setting.

Walk With Your Doc is a public health initiative by Doctors of BC that encourages British Columbians to get active, fosters community connections, and demonstrates that BC doctors walk the talk.
