Our Ottawa clinics were super proud to sponsor the Canada Army Run in our Nations Capital, and we can say with genuine awe, what an amazing event!!

Over 16,000+ military, civilians and veterans participated - whether they were running/walking/rolling the 5, 10 or 21 km this past weekend throughout downtown Ottawa. This was more than a race, it was the opportunity for the public to connect with our military and show their support for those who serve with pride in Canada.

A huge thank you to our amazing partners — Sigvaris Group Canada, New Balance and Brooks Running for your generous donations to keeping the participants comfortable and healthy!

This remarkable event honours and supports those who protect our country, and we’re grateful to be part of it.

We’re so thankful to have been part of the 35th Annual OTIP (Ontario Teachers Insurance Plan) Charity Golf Classic as both a sponsor and attendee!

One of the day’s highlights — on Hole #7, John Ilias, CIP from CAA hit an unforgettable hole-in-one on the Longest Drive Hole we proudly sponsored! He walked away with a BioPed Footcare gift basket to keep him strong on (and off) the course.

Beyond the fun, it was inspiring to see the community raise over $210,000 in support of Breakfast Club of Canada, Indspire, Kids Help Phone, and United for Literacy. Over the past 35 years, this event has raised more than $3.3 million to support students, educators, and communities across Ontario.

We’re proud to play a small part in this impact — and grateful for the chance to connect with so many passionate partners on and off the green.
