Health and wellness expo planned for White Rock

April 2 event to showcase local businesses and practitioners.

An business event aimed at showcasing White Rock’s health and wellness practitioners is set for next month.

The Vitality 2016 Health & Wellness Expo takes place at the White Rock Community Centre (15154 Russell Ave.) April 2, and will feature more than a dozen businesses from around the city promoting their products and services.

The expo – free to attend – is the first of its kind for the White Rock Business Improvement Association, who is sponsoring the event.

Dr. Carlos Lapena, a BIA director and owner of Roper Avenue Chiropractic, said in a news release the event is in response to the growing trend of community members becoming more aware of their health and well-being.

“The BIA wanted to launch an event that provided our thriving health and wellness sector an opportunity to connect with the community and create a greater awareness of the outstanding practitioners we have right here in our own backyard,” Lapena said.
