Today we are feeling a little nostalgic!

Remember before Google, before smartphones, and before asking Alexa or Siri everything...when we memorized phone numbers! And not just our own number. Our parents' number. Our best friend's number. The pizza place. (The pharmacy. 😆)

Now, if your phone dies, how many numbers can you still remember?

And if someone was already using the internet, nobody else could use the phone!

What's something you remember that younger generations will never understand?

When was the last time you checked the medications you have at home?

A quick medication safety check can help protect you and your loved ones.

✅ Check expiry dates on prescription and over-the-counter medications
✅ Store medications in a cool, dry place and out of reach of children and pets
✅ Keep medications in their original containers whenever possible
✅ Safely dispose of expired or unused medications
✅ Make sure you know what each medication is for and how to take it properly

Many people are surprised to find expired medications, duplicate products, or medications they no longer need.

Our pharmacy offers safe medication disposal and can answer any questions you have about your prescriptions and over-the-counter products.

Let us help you keep your medicine cabinet safe, organized, and up to date.

If you take more than one medication, our new medication synchronization program may make managing your prescriptions easier. Our program aligns your prescription refill dates so that all (or most) of your medications are ready for pickup at the same time.

✅ Fewer trips to the pharmacy
✅ More convenient prescription management
✅ Less chance of running out of medication
✅ Improved medication adherence

Our pharmacy team can work with you to create a refill schedule that fits your needs.

Stop by or call us with any questions about this program.

We are currently investigating a mystery:
Who pressed the fast-forward button on July?
One minute it was Canada Day, and the next we're staring at August on the calendar. 😲

If summer is moving too fast for you, don't worry, we are still here for your prescriptions, health questions, and friendly chats.

❤️ Thanks for being part of our pharmacy phamily!

🩴 Summer Foot Care Tips

Sandal season is here but is your foot care routine ready? 👣

With more time outdoors, your feet go through a lot in the summer—heat, sweat, and extra activity can lead to common issues like blisters, cracked heels, and even infections.

Here’s how to keep your feet healthy all season long:
✅ Choose supportive footwear
Flip-flops are fun, but not for all-day wear. Proper support helps prevent pain and injury
✅ Keep feet clean & dry
Warm, moist environments can lead to fungal infections like athlete’s foot
✅ Exfoliate and moisturize your heels
Hot weather + open shoes = dry, cracked skin
A simple foot cream can make a big difference
✅ Trim nails properly
Cut straight across to help prevent ingrown toenails
✅ Don’t forget sunscreen!
Yes, even your feet can burn ☀️
✅ Protect your feet in public places
Pool decks and locker rooms can expose you to bacteria and fungi

💡 Healthy feet = more comfortable summer adventures
