Doctors from around the Semiahmoo Peninsula met with patients Friday to take a stroll at Centennial Park for Walk with your Doc.

More than two dozen people took advantage of the warm weatherlast week to participate in community walk at Centennial Park.

Walk with your Doc, hosted by the White Rock/South Surrey Division of Family Practice, took place Friday, when several local doctors took to the track for a sunny stroll with patients from around the Peninsula.

The event was part of a province-wide effort celebrating the World Health Organization’s Move for Health Day, offering doctors the opportunity to discuss with their patients the health benefits of walking and to demonstrate a healthy lifestyle.

More than 70 Walk with your Doc events took place across B.C. last week.
