Doc Updates:
A warm welcome to Dr. Ken Bayley who has joined us from Saskatchewan with his wife.  He recently did locum coverage at Mageta, and looks forward to permanently moving here in August where he will be seeking part time physician work.

We recently enjoyed meeting Dr. Kanwarjit Warraich who moved to Maple Ridge with his wife and child.  Kanwarjit will be doing part time locums and walk in clinic shifts in our community and seeking a clinic to join permanently in the future.

Dr. Anton de Klerk transitioned his full time practice to Dr. Paul Simoncic at Dewdney Medical Group.  Anton is now semi-retired and still doing walk in clinics, surgical assists and locums in Maple Ridge.
