Kintec Footlabs actively supports and participates in local community events throughout the year.

With 6 locations throughout the Lower Mainland, you will find the university-trained Kintec Human Kinetic Specialists at many of these community events close to where our stores are located!

Our team members are equipped with the latest and greatest products we have to offer, or technology that we use. They will also educate you on how we can keep you active, one footstep at a time.

Look out for Kintec's Purple K mascot at an event close to you!

Here are some of the events that we've participated in throughout the year:

2008 Canadian Diabetes Live Smart Expo

Kintec was out in Abbotsford in support of the 2008 Live Smart Diabetes Expo, presented by the Canadian Diabetes Association.

Visitors were presented with a selection of diabetic-friendly products and expert advice from our Canadian Board Certified Pedorthist. The Kintec Team also had a selection of performance footwear, and custom orthpaedic footwear, with sample modifications available for relieving any pressure points.







2008 Maple Ridge Run-the-Ridge

The rain held off while the Kintec Maple Ridge team joined over 200 participants in hitting the streets of Maple Ridge again this year for the 2nd annual Run-the-Ridge 5k & 10k road race held on Sunday June 8th, 2008.

Kintec's own DarbyKai took first place honours in the women's 10km division with a time of 40:44. Congratulations to her!

This successful event was established to raise awareness for the Canadian Transplant Association, as well as to promote physical fitness and the sport of road racing within the community.

2008 Hip Hip Hooray Orthopaedic Walk

The Kintec team was once again at the Scandinavian Cultural Centre in Burnaby, on Sunday May 28th, in support of this year's Hip Hip Hooray Orthopaedic Walk.

In 2007, Kintec Footlabs was happy to contribute to the walk towards raising $102,000 for orthopaedic research, education and patient care.

We were honoured to be invited again this year to help improve the lives of many thousands of Canadians!

2008 Tim Hortons Wellness Fair

Industrial Athletes - especially those on their feet all day -  had a chance to talk to the Kintec foot care experts at Tim Hortons' Wellness Fair.

The Kintec team was happy to educate their staff on how proper footwear and orthotics can help to keep them comfortable and injury-free on the job and at home.





2008 BC Hydro Wellness Fair

The Kintec team was out at BC Hydro this week to educate their employees on how to stay active and injury free during and outside of office hours. We brought a selection of products that appealed to staff on their feet or day, as well as those who sit at a desk all day!

Have a corporate event? Let us know and we'll be happy to do the same for your company!





2008 Canada Revenue Agency Event

Office Workers, walk away from foot and knee pain! Our Human Kinetic Specialists and Pedorthists were at the CRA Campus to talk about why "We're No Ordinary Shoe Store".

The CRA staff left empowered with the knowledge that it's the fit that counts, and that our specialists are committed to fitting our customers with the right shoe for their unique biomechanics.
