Making Community Connections

What are some of the impacts of this program?
Strengthens the role and value of pharmacy care to the community and other healthcare providers
Improve quality of pharmacy services and increase the communities members’ trust in pharmacy care
Alleviates anxiety about access to medication
Decreases costly medical travel expenses
We are here to listen to, learn from and support our communities. National Day for Truth and Reconciliation coming up on September 30th is a holiday in place to honour survivors, their families and communities, as well as to ensure that public commemoration of the history and legacy of residential schools remains a vital component of the reconciliation process.
We will be supporting and invite you to wear orange with us as well as help to get involved in supporting change within our communities.
