Dear Full-time Pharmacist, Healthcare Businesses and Store Support Colleagues,

 

We are excited to be meeting in person again at our 2023 Loblaw & Shoppers Drug Mart Pharmacy & Wellness Conference in Toronto. We are committed to providing an exciting conference where you can participate in sessions and activities to educate, engage, and inspire you, along with ample time to network and mingle with your colleagues. This conference is attended by SDM pharmacists, Loblaw pharmacy managers and colleagues from our various healthcare businesses and store support offices.

 

This year’s theme is “Shaping the Future”. We are proactively shaping the future of the business through bold decisions and initiatives to set ourselves apart from the competition. Our tagline, “Purpose. Pride. Possibilities.” speaks to your purpose and pride in your role in the community and your impact at store-level. We want you to be excited about future possibilities - for yourselves and for the company.
