		CACDS Celebrates its 15th Year
		On February 20, 1995, CACDS was officially incorporated and received its charter with 15 full chain drug members and 61 associate members. Our mission was to be the national and regional voice of members to federal provincial governments, the trade, other sectors in the pharmaceutical, retail and packaged goods industry, media and the public. Today our goal is to represent community pharmacy, reaching out to stakeholders to generate a better understanding of our vital, and expanding role as health care hubs for Canadians.
