Walk with your Doc Nanaimo Patients get social for good health with BC’s doctors Nanaimo, BC – Walk with your Doc events take place around the province May 9 – 17, 2015.

Here in Nanaimo at Merle Logan Turf Field, Beban Park the Nanaimo Division of Family Practice will hold its walking event at 9:15 a.m. on Saturday, May 14th and is inviting the community to join in. Now in its seventh year Walk with your Doc supports doctors who want to host a community walk and invite their patients, families and friends to walk side-by-side with them and discuss in an informal atmosphere the benefits of daily activity on overall physical and mental health. Held in communities across the province, Walk with your Doc demonstrates that people of all ages, no matter their ability, can be healthier by staying active.

And walking is a simple, effective, and very social activity. Participants can receive a free pedometer at the event by signing up online at www.walkwithyourdoc.ca.

They also have the chance to win one of several great prizes by uploading their walk photos to social media with the hashtag #WalkWithYourDoc. The website links walkers to the rest of BC by posting cross-province event photos, doctor and patient stories, and displaying an interactive map of regional walks.

In conjunction with the walk, the Nanaimo Division and Pacific Sports will also be hosting an Active for Life Expo. Free Family friendly fun for the whole family.
