Cool Treat Brings Warm Reception

 

When Centric Health CEO, David Cutler showed up at several BC clinics this week, he came armed with treats.

Above, Chinatown Clinic Director, Wayne Tang looks cool receiving his ice cream treat. Hey, wait a minute Wayne is that one treat or two?

Now if we could just convince David to come back with a mobile poutine truck for Grey Cup Sunday, we'd have it made!
