Having a Naloxone kit on-hand could save a life during an opioid overdose. We are incredibly proud of Associate-Owner Vish Pandya at SDM # 4155 for educating her local Calgary community on the importance of naloxone and how to administer these life-saving kits when responding to an opioid emergency.   Naloxone kits are available for free at all Shoppers Drug Mart locations across Canada. Speak to your local Shoppers pharmacist to learn more about how to access this lifesaving resource.

Over the past three weekends, I have had the pleasure of spending some time with our pharmacy and healthcare teams at the Loblaw and Shoppers Drug Mart Pharmacy and Wellness Conferences in Toronto, Calgary and Quebec City. I look forward to these events every year as they provide opportunities to not only share the exciting work we are doing to deliver care and services to millions of patients, but also a chance to celebrate the positive impact that our healthcare professionals are having on the lives of Canadians. I also had the chance to meet a number of pharmacy students from universities across Canada. Their excitement for Pharmacy is inspiring and I know they will take this profession to great heights as they progress in their careers. Thank you to everyone who made the time to come together for learning, networking and celebration. If you attended one of these events, I’d love to hear your highlights in the comments below. ***************************************************************************** Au cours des trois dernières fins de semaine, j'ai eu le plaisir de passer du temps avec nos équipes de pharmacies et de soins de santé à l'occasion des conférences sur la pharmacie et le bien-être de Loblaw et de Shoppers Drug Mart/Pharmaprix à Toronto, Calgary et la ville de Québec. Chaque année, j'attends impatiemment la venue de ces événements, puisqu’ils permettent non seulement de partager avec d’autres l’incroyable travail que nous accomplissons dans le but d’offrir des soins et des services à des millions de patients, mais aussi de profiter de l’occasion pour célébrer l’impact positif que nos professionnels de la santé ont sur la vie des Canadiens. J’ai également eu la chance de rencontrer des étudiants et des étudiantes en pharmacie provenant de différentes universités à travers le pays. Leur passion pour la pharmacie est inspirante et me donne bon espoir qu’ils mèneront à bien cette profession à la lumière de leur ambition au cours de la progression de leurs carrières. Merci à toutes les personnes qui ont pris le temps de se réunir pour apprendre, réseauter et célébrer.Si vous avez participé à l'un de ces événements, j'aimerais connaître vos impressions dans les commentaires ci-dessous.

Recently I had the incredible opportunity to be part of a commercial for Tampon Tuesday! This initiative is dedicated to addressing period poverty and ensuring that menstrual products are accessible to everyone who needs them. We are calling on the community to join us in making a difference. You can help by donating feminine products at your local Shoppers Drugmart in Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge. Every donation helps provide essential menstrual products to those in need, making a significant impact on their lives. Let's come together to support this important cause. Thank you for your generosity! #TamponTuesday #PeriodPoverty #Donate #CommunitySupport
