London Drugs in your Community
Believe in Better
Believe in Better is our commitment to making a positive impact on the world and the Western Canadian communities we operate in.
Everything we do revolves around three simple pillars – people, planet and progress.
Every Child Matters - Raising Awareness
Support of Orange Shirt Day follows important initiatives London Drugs has implemented over the years including the Aboriginal Employment Partnership initiative in 2009 and the Aboriginal Partnership Bursary Program in 2014.
London Drugs has always been a proud staunch supporter of furthering education for those in our local communities.

Operation Family Identification
Our Children are the Future.
Pioneered in Canada by London Drugs, Operation Family Identification provides a child identity package for parents and guardians. Supported by Block Parent, Crime Stoppers and the RCMP, Operation Family Identification has provided over half a million identity kits to parents and guardians, free of charge, since the program’s inception in 1984.
The identity kit contains a picture, fingerprints of the child and all of the child's vital statistics. The parent or guardian retains the only copy of the identity kit. For providing this service, London Drugs has received an award from the Solicitor General of Canada as well as one from the Solicitor General of Alberta.
London Drugs Foundation
For over 75 years, Western Canadians have trusted London Drugs to provide them with great value that extends beyond well-priced, high-quality products. Our customers want to make their purchases from a company that gives back to the local community. That’s why we created the London Drugs Foundation over two decades ago and why it is such a key part of what we do.
Through the foundation, London Drugs makes countless contributions to local hospitals, charities, and organizations in support of health, education, and the arts. These contributions make a real difference in the communities we serve.
Our commitment to giving back has helped us consistently rank among the best-in-class in terms of brand love and trust. This trust motivates us to do more and permeates all levels of our company, right down to the products we carry in our stores.
