The Canadian Association of Chain Drug Stores

Mission and Strategic Priorities

Our mission is to ensure a strong chain drug store sector which provides Canadian consumers with access to high quality products and health care services.

We will achieve this by:
  • Contributing to the development of innovative health care solutions;
  • Promoting and enhancing the role and value of our chain pharmacy members and their pharmacists in the health care system;
  • Ensuring that governments and regulators whose decisions affect the economic viability of chain drug stores understand our issues and make better use of the infrastructure available in member locations;
  • Working with our supplier community to increase consumer satisfaction through greater efficiency and effectiveness of our supply chain; and
  • Monitoring and informing our members on industry-wide issues.
