PRINCE GEORGE- Two feet and a heartbeat can’t get you very far if you’re not taking care of your feet. The Advanced Foot Care course is a continuing education program for registered or licensed practical nurses. It’s a seven-day course that students from around the province travel to Prince George for, as it’s the only northern college that offers it. Part of the program offers free clinics for the elderly. Clients get their nails trimmed, feet buffed, and shoe recommendations. Instructor Judy Bala says having healthy feet is important for your physical and mental wellbeing, as mobility isn’t possible if you’ve got sore feet.

The Native Friendship Centre and Central Interior Native Health Society host the free clinics.
